The Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI) is the nation’s leading authority on financial services for underbanked consumers.  CFSI’s programs are based on the belief that addressing the needs of underbanked consumers as a market will deliver broad, long-term change throughout the financial services landscape by creating mutual benefit for both the underbanked and the companies serving them.  Therefore, CFSI works with leaders and innovators in the business, government and nonprofit sectors to transform the financial services landscape with programs focused on informing, connecting and investing – gathering enhanced intelligence, brokering and supporting productive industry relationships and fostering best-in-class products and strategies.  CFSI seeks to improve the quality and quantity of financial products and services, better shape them to the needs and desires of underbanked customers, and expand effective savings and asset acquisition opportunities. The organization spurs innovation to bridge the gaps that remain in creating a path to prosperity for underbanked consumers by:

• Developing market intelligence;
• Assessing existing products, services and strategies;
• Providing strategic advice;
• Promoting and facilitating marketplace partnerships;
• Influencing public policy;
• Investing in promising innovations and encouraging others to do so as well

Founded in 2004, CFSI has experienced dramatic growth in the last two years and is poised for further growth in 2012. The organization currently has a staff of 25 with offices in Chicago, New York and Washington, DC.  CFSI plans to build a more robust strategy, campaign and infrastructure to identify and develop relationships with the partners and supporters of the future and maintain relationships with our current stakeholders. CFSI is a fast-paced, entrepreneurial and highly collaborative environment. We are looking for people who share our values of innovation, passion, excellence, impact and directness.
