Confia – “El Futuro en Tus Manos”

The Mexican community is one of the fastest growing immigrant communities in New York City and also one of the most disenfranchised and excluded from the financial sector. EA Consultants envisions a new organization, Confia, to empower the Mexican immigrant community through information and access to formal financial markets. The Capstone team first conducted an extensive environmental scan and needs assessment to determine current opportunities. The team then analyzed the interview information to diagnose specific needs and construct a business plan for Confia. Confia will work with the community, banks, and community organizations to develop appropriate services to better facilitate financial access for Mexican immigrants.
