Revolve

Financial capital is a critical ingredient in any economic development effort, and groups that lack access to capital face a significant barrier to participation and prosperity. Often those with the least are charged the most for access, a reality known as the “poverty premium.”

Community Credit Lab is a social enterprise non-profit organization working to provide access to capital for those who have difficulty securing financing. Community Credit Lab co-founders Sandhya Nakhasi and Ryan Glasgo join to talk about their work to eliminate the “poverty premium”, why no interest lending is realistic, and how affordable credit can be a powerful tool in communities.
