Inclusiv, formerly known as the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, will host a complimentary webinar that will explore how credit unions can serve members who lack traditional forms of identification. The webinar will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Oct. 8, and all credit unions are invited to participate.

The session — which is being held in collaboration with PolicyWorks, Cooperative Federal Credit Union and the Resurrection Project — is the third installment of a webinar series devoted to Inclusiv’s Hispanic outreach program, Juntos Avanzamos.

During the webinar, participants will:

 learn about the rules and regulations that are relevant to the acceptance of alternate forms of ID;

 receive an update on the common identification and documentation types used by Hispanic foreign nationals and other alternate forms of ID, such as municipal IDs;

 explore common and less common scenarios and questions from Juntos Avanzamos credit union employees opening accounts daily; and

 learn how other credit unions are working to promote financial inclusion by accepting alternate forms of ID.

According to Inclusiv, the spending power of the Latino population rose from $210 million in 1990 to $1.7 trillion in 2018. The average age of a Hispanic-American is 27, compared with 43 for the U.S. general population. On the other hand, 14% of Hispanic households are reported to be unbanked, and one of the most consequential barriers to financial inclusion for Hispanic and immigrant consumers relates to documentation requirements at account opening.
