What is SAFE?
Supporting Access to Financial Empowerment (SAFE) is an initiative launched by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and IRC’s Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO) to empower communities as they begin their journey to financial stability and economic security across the U.S.
The three key components of SAFE are:
- In-language web portal that serves as access to all SAFE services and is available to families no matter where they are in the U.S.
- In-language financial education and coaching services offered through a network of SAFE financial coaches to help provide an understanding of American banking.
- Offering low interest and fee-based rates for Auto, Education, Immigration and Personal Loans. With 0% APR for credit-building loans.
