About the Event

Urban Financial Services Coalition celebrates 50 years in 2024! Join us in Kansas City on April 11-12, 2024 to celebrate the accomplishments of the last 50 years, and the vision for the next 50 years!

The Urban Financial Services Coalition (UFSC), formerly known as the National Association of Urban Bankers (NAUB), is a non-profit organization of minority professionals in the financial services industry and related fields. Affiliation with UFSC offers a unique opportunity to influence the shape of the banking and financial services industries. To accomplish its goals, UFSC operates as a professional trade association (IRS 501c6). UFSC promotes the personal and professional growth of its members, collectively articulates concerns and marshals resources to improve the economic development of under-served communities.

UFSC supports programs that offer practical benefits for minority financial services professionals, banks and financial institutions. Our goals and objectives are:

  • Fostering the interest and expanding the numbers of minorities in financial services;
  • Increasing the understanding and use of financial services in low-income communities;
  • Enhancing scholarship programs for minority youth in pursuit of financial services careers; and
  • Cultivating a premiere job bank of experienced minority professionals in the financial services industry.

This isn’t another day-long session repeating the things we know. We’ve designed and framed them well, so every minute introduces a new concept and a different point of view to adopt.
