Finance & Equity: Insights from the PPP on How Technology Might Help Better Serve Business Owners of Color

July 22, 2021

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, AARP, and Reimagine Main Street held a virtual event, “Finance & Equity: Insights from PPP on How Technology Might Better Serve Business Owners of Color,” exploring how technology can improve small-business credit access for businesses owned by people of color.

The event built on a recent analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which found that, although technology-enabled lenders represented a relatively small share of all PPP loans, these lenders played a critical role in serving business owners of color and businesses that needed relatively small loans.

Speakers included:

Isabella Casillas Guzman, U.S. Small Business Administrator
Nancy LeaMond, Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer, AARP
Grady B. Hedgespeth, Assistant Director, Small Business Lending Markets, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
David Clunie, Executive Director, Black Economic Alliance
Claire Kramer Mills and Jessica Battisto of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
