Highlights:

  • The 多宝游戏下载鈥檚 tech lab, FDITECH, is launching a first-of-its-kind 鈥榯ech sprint,鈥 challenging participants to identify better resources and tools to help banks get unbanked households into the banking system and to keep them banked.
  • The 多宝游戏下载 recently published How America Banks , the agency鈥檚 latest survey of household use of banking and financial services.

鈥淲hich data, tools, and other resources could help community banks meet the needs of the unbanked population in a cost-effective manner, and how might the impact of this work be measured?鈥

  • In a few weeks, FDITECH will open registration for the tech sprint. Interested parties will have two weeks to submit applications requesting participation. After a brief review of submissions, FDITECH will invite a select number of teams to participate. Selected teams will attend a kick-off meeting and then work on their proposed solutions for a period of approximately three weeks. Finally, FDITECH will host a 鈥楧emo Day,鈥 inviting teams to make short presentations to a panel of experts who will evaluate their submission.
