Panel Description: 


 

While there is much uncertainty about the future of banking one thing is
certain: lending to underserved/low income consumers will never be the same.
On this panel we hear how it is changing. If subprime was a bad (or
sub-optimal) model for extending finance to underserved, underbanked
demographics in the US what is the right way? How will the underbanked get
access to the capital they deserve? Who will provide that capital?
