1. Bank On - Website of the Week

    CFED, with support from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and in partnership with the San Francisco Office of Financial Empowerment, the National League of Cities and the New America Foundation, has launched a new-and-improved Bank On website at JoinBankOn.org.

    This digital resource, redesigned based on intensive input from users across the country, is the new online home for the national community of Bank On initiatives and individuals and organizations working to promote financial access for low- and moderate-income Americans.

    JoinBankOn.org was originally developed by the Treasurer of the City and County of San Francisco to widely share the lessons learned from the innovative Bank On San Francisco initiative launched in 2006. According to San Francisco Treasurer José Cisneros, the new site “is the online home of the nationwide movement to ensure everyone has access to the financial mainstream. It provides communities with easy access to information and resources for starting or enhancing local Bank On programs.”
