Future Forum - The Indigenous Financial Services Network (IFSN)
The Indigenous Banking Reference Group (IBRG) membership has established a network of experts in the area of Indigenous financial literacy and retail banking and will continue to work together to address the issues identified through the NIMMA project, under the banner of the "Indigenous Financial Services Network (IFSN)". Members of the IFSN will continue to focus on financial literacy and financial services issues for Indigenous consumers.
The NIMMA project greatly benefited from the guidance of Indigenous community leaders and consultations with Indigenous peoples about their experiences and needs regarding financial literacy, access to banking products and services and consumer support services.
To ensure Indigenous communities continue to be involved in developing and implementing strategies to improve their financial independence in collaboration with the IFSN, an Indigenous advisory group will be established, as a conduit for Indigenous peoples to raise issues and contribute feedback to the expert network.
