NeighborWorks Salt Lake secures fellowship to expand banking access

A new national grant is set to expand access to safe and affordable banking for residents across Salt Lake City and surrounding communities.

NeighborWorks Salt Lake announced April 20 that it has been awarded funding from the Cities for Financial Empowerment (CFE) Fund, with support from the Wells Fargo Foundation, to strengthen its local “Bank On” initiative. The effort aims to connect residents — particularly those without traditional bank accounts — to reliable financial services.
