The Problem

25% of the United States is unbanked or underbanked.

Financial services are one of the most powerful tools to reduce poverty and enable economic growth.

However, access to these services in the U.S. remains a challenge.

How We’re Solving It

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit and student-led organization at the University of Michigan providing financial & consulting services to local Ann Arbor and Detroit micro-businesses to empower entrepreneurs, aid in community revitalization, and foster inclusive and sustainable financing.
