Last month we held an event in Newcastle to hear from people about our #FinancialInclusion inquiry. @CatMcKinnell said that "we're going to use these discussions to feed into the Committee's inquiry."
After the session, @WERS69154021 told us that to make financial services more accessible, they would like to see those granted refugee status get a bank account straight away #FinancialInclusion
We were told by @DeafBV that financial services need to make sure that they're more accessible in British Sign Language #FinancialInclusion
And @actionFdn told us that to improve access to finance for refugees and other migrants, technology that overcomes the language barrier is needed #FinancialInclusion
