Financial Systems

The U.S. financial system, one of the largest in the world, can be a powerful engine for shared prosperity, personal freedom, and economic opportunity for all people and small businesses.

To strengthen this crucial infrastructure so more households can access, use, and benefit from it, Aspen FSP calls for a combination of private sector leadership, a supportive regulatory environment, and consumer-centered insights.

What We Do

We approach this systems-level work in three ways: fraud and scams; financial inclusion; and market innovation.

Fraud and Scams

We strengthen fraud and scam protection by convening the National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention.

Financial Inclusion

Aspen FSP partners with leaders and stakeholders to help realize the recommendations in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion.

Market Innovation

We explore and research how new and existing technology, such as digital ID and blockchain, can enhance consumers’ financial stability, resilience, and wealth-building outcomes.

STopping Fraud

The National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention

Every year, criminals defraud and scam American households out of more than $158 billion. This is a national security crisis, and the problem is only getting worse.

We need a coordinated national strategy that enables the government and private sector to work together to stop fraud, cut off criminal funding, and protect America. The National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention, launched by Aspen FSP, leads this cross-sector effort to seek a more secure future.
