The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Advisory Committee on Economic Inclusion (ComE-IN) will meet on Thursday, April 27 to discuss measures banks may consider to reach underserved populations, such as collaborations with community-based organizations; resources for affordable mortgage lending; and new research that may be used to more effectively target resources to promote broader access to bank branches in underserved neighborhoods.
The Committee also will review the Economic Inclusion Summit, which will be hosted by the FDIC on April 26 to develop strategies to bring consumers into the financial mainstream.
The meeting will be open to the general public and will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the FDIC’s Board Room, 6th Floor, 550 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Security screening and presentation of valid photo identification are required to enter the building. The meeting also will be webcast live.
