Financial Inclusion for Immigrant Consumers:
Dallas Roundtable

Register Now!

The cost to attend the roundtable, including the reception on March 18th, is $95.00 per person. Seats are limited.

The National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions (Federation) and the Network of Latino Credit Unions and Professionals (NLCUP) invite you to attend the Financial Inclusion for Immigrant Consumers Roundtable in Dallas, TX, part of a national campaign to link unbanked and underbanked immigrants in the US with credit union products and services for immigration and legalization efforts.

Of the 10 million unbanked households in the US, nearly 20 percent are foreign-born, non-citizen households. Credit unions face a historic opportunity to bring these immigrant workers and their families into the financial mainstream.

Our agenda includes speakers from credit unions successfully serving immigrants to representatives of city immigration services and financial products and services designed specifically for immigrants and the undocumented.
