More than 45 million U.S. adults lack a credit record or credit score. But new data sources and technology can help institutions more accurately assess creditworthiness and better price risk for households that have been locked out of credit opportunities in the past.

Join our webinar on December 10 at 1:00 p.m. ET to explore how expanding access to affordable credit could unlock wealth building opportunities for more households. We’ll discuss how integrating broader financial data—such as cash flow and payment history—into credit evaluations can help consumers manage short-term needs, access wealth-building assets, and pursue long-term financial goals like homeownership and entrepreneurship. Featuring insights on the new National Strategy for Financial Inclusion and the CFPB’s 1033 rule, this session will delve into transformative opportunities for inclusive finance.

Featured speakers include:

  • Kate Griffin, Director of Programs, Aspen Institute Financial Security Program
  • Erin Borġ, Senior Manager, Inclusive Financial Systems, Aspen Institute Financial Security Program
  • Evelyn Stark, Managing Director, Financial Health, ideas42 (moderator)
  • John Fenstermaker, US Chief Data & Analytics Officer, Equifax
  • David Henderson, Founder, Giving Credit
  • Kimberly Gartner, Head of Partnerships, Prism Data
  • Michelle Young, Head of Credit Products, Plaid
