2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the Financial Health Network. It’s a milestone that belongs not just to us, but to you – the leaders who make up our financial health community. What began 20 years ago as an effort to expand banking access in the U.S. has grown into a powerful cross-sector movement committed to erasing disparities and improving people’s financial lives.
To commemorate 20 years of finhealth, we’re going big. Whether you’re new to the movement or you’ve been involved for years, we invite you to reflect on the progress we’ve made, rethink our systems, and rewire our society to support financial health for all.
Celebrate this momentous milestone at EMERGE Financial Health 2024, read our CEO's message, tune in to the EMERGE Everywhere podcast for special anniversary episodes, see how other organizations are driving change in our Impact Stories, and follow along all year for more inspiration and updates.
Thank you for being a part of the movement.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve partnered with leaders across industries to create financial health solutions that have touched the lives ofmore than 200 million people.
