FiSCA "Economic Inclusion" Advocacy Program

On October 24th 2007, at the invitation of FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, FiSCA representatives Chairman Joe Coleman and Patricia Cirillo, PhD, of Cypress Research Group, appeared before the FDIC Committee on Economic Inclusion (comE-IN), to speak on the topic “Money Services Businesses – Access to the Banking System.” 

In preparation for this meeting FiSCA created a powerful and comprehensive document for the Committee members detailing the Financial Service Center industry; history, business model, customers and their activity with us, and more.

Highlights of this document (download below), "Economic Inclusion:  Meeting the Financial Needs of Low-and Moderate-Income Consumers Through Financial Service Centers" include:

  • A statistical overview of the Financial Service Center industry, its size, volume and scope as well as its customers and their satisfaction ratings of the industry, based on statistics, never before available
  • A discussion of the differences between the bank and FSC business models
  • An overview of FiSCA’s Consumer Empowerment Program
  • A discussion addressing bank discontinuance issues.
  • Ten proposals made by FiSCA to comE-IN
  • Three studies referenced within the presentation

This document and presentation before the FDIC formed the groundwork for an aggressive advocacy program for 2008.
