Financial Inclusion Commission UK

Thank you to @UKFinclusion & @UoBCHASM for inviting us to be part of the launch of this new research on financial exclusion, and a discussion on the solutions.

'Achieving full financial inclusion in the UK' New CHASM research highlights financial exclusion and offers solutions to ensure all have access to essential financial services. Commissioned by @UKFinclusion, supported by Mastercard. @CoSS_Birmingham bit.ly/40x8SDp

Our Chair, @pondfinclusion said: “This research provides a baseline for a government-led National Financial Inclusion Strategy, which we hope is now imminent... The Government needs to close the financial inclusion gap as a priority to unlock inclusive growth”

This work highlights growing financial exclusion and offers solutions to bridge the gap, ensuring everyone has access to essential financial services. Read more on our website: financialinclusioncommission.org.uk/blog/2024/10/n…

We would like to congratulate @UKLabour on winning the #GE24 and look forward to working with them to tackle the poverty premium. Our vision is for a UK where people in poverty pay a fair price for essential services. We hope they can help us make that a reality.

💬 "Financial exclusion is a source of shame for a country that prides itself on being a global leader in financial services," says FIC Chair @pondfinclusion. We need a strategy that ensures everyone has access to essential financial services for #InclusiveGrowth.

We, the Financial Inclusion Commission (FIC), today welcome the new Government's commitment to a National Financial Inclusion Strategy. This is a vital step toward tackling financial exclusion and improving resilience across the UK. #FinancialInclusion #GeneralElection

@MartinSLewis has long campaigned that financial inclusion be made a priority, describing it as the bedrock of employment, being a consumer and a citizen. You can read the article here 👇 🔗 moneysavingexpert.com/news/2024/06/g…

We are calling for: 📊 Better access to essential financial services 💪 Building financial resilience 💳 Affordable, well-regulated credit 🛡️ Better support for those at risk of financial problems 🏦 Promotion of saving for retirement and social care

Many thanks to @MoneySavingExp for their support as we launch our new report with @UoBCHASM. The report urges the next UK Government to introduce a National Financial Inclusion Strategy.
