Welcome to NYCfNAC's Website!
The New York City Financial Network Action Consortium (NYCfNAC) was established to address the drastic loss of banking services in New York City's low-income communities. We assert the right of every low-income person to be able to save, borrow, invest, accumulate assets and be knowledgeable consumers of financial services as a means to economic opportunity and community development. Accordingly, NYCfNAC promotes their ability to gain access to affordable, convenient and comprehensive financial services and credit by building a network of the city's leading community development credit unions.
