Low-income Americans pay as much as $11 billion in fees every year to unregulated, for-profit financial services companies.

Millions of financially “underserved” Americans pay annual percentage rates of more than 300% for payday loans. An entire industry has sprung up to provide convenient, but unsustainably costly financial services. Join Net Impact’s call with Steve Delfin, executive director of the National Credit Union Foundation, as he shows how responsible financial institutions are fighting back and lightening the load for American families.
