Breaking Down Barriers To Financial Access

Online Webinar:  September 16th | 2 PM EST

Build Trust And Financial Pathways That Last.


Predatory lending and high-fee prepaid cards aren’t just common in some communities; they’re often the only option for people without direct deposit or a checking account. This reality forces many to pay extra for basic financial services while missing out on opportunities to build the credit and stability they deserve.

Since joining Alltru FCU in 2013, Community Development Manager Tracy Verner has made it her mission to change this situation. Through fostering deep relationships with local organizations and launching innovative programs, Alltru is connecting underserved residents with direct deposit capabilities, holistic banking services, and credit-building tools designed to empower them financially.

In this exclusive client webinar, you’ll hear the story behind their approach and the results they’ve achieved. Tracy will share how the credit union has broken down financial barriers by building trust and creating more pathways to financial inclusion. Join us to learn how your credit union can create similar successes in your own community.

  • Best practices and lessons learned you can adapt for your own community.
