Policy

As a trusted resource on issues impacting financial health, we provide valuable perspectives to policymakers, regulators, and business stakeholders on industry innovations and consumer financial needs. Our goal? To create connections between the business and policy communities, ultimately helping to fuel better products and services to improve financial health for all.

Understanding Policy and Financial Health

In our policy work to date, we have uncovered several key findings:

  • Data access and privacy, the role of emerging technology, and solutions to expand credit are a few of the key policy issues today impacting the future of industry innovation.

  • Providers need clarity and confidence in the regulatory landscape to innovate effectively.

  • As a growing number of organizations beyond traditional financial institutions deliver financial health solutions, open dialogue between policymakers and the broader community is key for regulatory development.
