5th Annual Underbanked Forum

	As financial institutions work hard to restore their reputation with the public, they have taken on a new role to educate consumers while promoting savings. But how do you motivate someone living paycheck to paycheck to start saving? Pilot programs like Michigan’s Save to Win is certainly one way to go, as reported in this April US Banker article. Peter Tufano, founder of Doorways to Dreams, consumer advocacy group behind Save to Win, and a Harvard Business School professor, says banks need to design programs that get consumers excited about saving. "Understanding people's motives can be quite effective in trying to design new products and services that will resonate with folks," says Tufano. On June 9-11, 2010, the industry’s most innovative practitioners will gather in Miami for the 5th Annual Underbanked Financial Services Forum to discuss the most cutting-edge successful programs to serve the underbanked segment.
