While there is much uncertainty about the future of banking one thing is certain: lending to underserved/low income consumers will never be the same. On this panel we hear how it is changing. If subprime was a bad (or sub-optimal) model for extending finance to underserved, underbanked demographics in the US what is the right way? How will the underbanked get access to the capital they deserve? Who will provide that capital?
