Filene Fill-In Ep. 30: Making Families Less Awkward...Sort Of

Filene Research Institute

Families can be awkward…way awkward. And we can’t help that here at Filene. In fact, we think of ourselves as one big family and we’re awkward as all heck. "Awkward family photos" ticks up a notch in Google searches whenever a number of us get in the same room. (Case in point: https://goo.gl/0HmElg) So yeah, while we can’t do anything about making our families less awkward, we can do something to take the awkwardness out of lending money between friends and family. That's what the winning concept from Filene i3 attempts to do. And a project team of credit union innovators and experts has built it out and is asking for your help in testing it and perfecting the idea. Please check out 'Bank on Family' and sign up to help us test it out: https://filene.org/i3/i3-concept/bank-on-family Go directly to the interest form here: https://goo.gl/3G2Qvu And as mentioned in the podcast, you can apply to join our Filene i3 program and invent your own idea to be tested with our credit union friends.
