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.
The report draws on research from Ipsos and ClearView Research, and was commissioned by Fair4All Finance in partnership with the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and StepChange Debt Charity.
