Levelling the playing field for minority ethnic groupsAyesha Begum, Fair4All Finance

The report, ‘Levelling the playing field’, makes recommendations to build inclusive access to financial services for individuals from minority ethnic groups. It finds people from minority ethnic groups experience higher levels of discrimination and face multiple barriers to accessing mainstream finance, including a lack of trust, a ‘one size fits all’ approach and a lack of transparency around decision-making.
