Research has shown that automated savings make it easier to save for life events such as college, retirement, and unforeseen emergencies. However, many low income households face barriers to accessing affordable financial products & programs. UFFE helps to remove these barriers and provide access to vital services.
Emergency Savings Accounts: UFFE provides clients with opportunities to create and use emergency savings accounts to reduce frequency and usage of "payday" loan services. ESA's goal is to have three to six months of living expenses in a savings account.
