Exploring Financial Capability for Refugee Populations: A Webinar of Study Findings and Insights

This webinar from October 2017 shares highlights from the International Rescue Committee’s recent study on financial capability for refugees, Financial Capability for New Americans: Lessons from Early Interventions with Refugees. It explains the financial lives of early-stage refugees, who are often in working but low-income families, in debt but with no credit score. IRC’s approach to building financial capabilities for refugees involves bundled services, financial education and coaching, and integrated financial products.
