- Strategies to build responsive banking services focused on the community's assessed needs and consumer preferences while modifying consumer behavior through products and incentives
- The contribution of community organizations and alternative financial service providers in the development of financial management capacity within a market
- The role that mobile payments is playing in the evolution of financial services and money management, and the risks to consider in a quickly developing field of financial services
