The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) will host an event that provides a financial snapshot of the Millennials and Generation Z. The event will strengthen connections between the two generations and community stakeholders. These stakeholders are interested in bridging the gap with innovative saving plans to meet the needs of both generations; increase access to safe and affordable capital and credit; and build financial capacity among small businesses through financial education for businesses.
