FinCap Friday: More Fairness in Finance

In 1974 it became illegal for lenders in the U.S. to discriminate against consumers based on race, gender, marital status, and other factors when applying for credit. As we celebrate 50 years of progress this week, we reflect on the profound impact of this change—enabling single women to build credit histories, and people of color to secure loans. Tune into this week's episode of FinCap Friday to explore this deeper and consider the relevance it still has in our modern economy!
