NEW YORK (October 29, 2024) -- National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Treasury's new guidance:

“The U.S. Treasury Department's release today of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy marks a historic step towards a fairer financial system. By expanding access to safe, affordable financial services and fostering economic resilience, this strategy lays the groundwork for closing persistent economic disparities and accelerating progress toward a financial system that offers opportunity for more people. The National Urban League worked collaboratively with Treasury to develop this important guidance, and we commend Secretary Yellen and the Treasury for  prioritizing financial equity.”
