About San Francisco Office of Financial Empowerment
Through the Bank on San Francisco initiative and the creation of an Office of Financial Empowerment, the City and County of San Francisco has emerged as a national leader in the delivery of programs to increase financial inclusion and combat predatory practices. The key focus of this work is connecting low-income San Franciscans to healthy financial products and providing culturally relevant financial education to ensure success in the mainstream. San Francisco views the role of the city government as essential to this work, and primarily serves as a convener and influencer in the furtherance of financial empowerment goals, bringing together financial institutions, regulators, philanthropic funders and community based organizations. In 2009, the City of San Francisco became one of only three cities in the country to launch a municipal Office of Financial Empowerment, housed within the Office of the Treasurer, which primarily serves as the banker, tax collector and investment officer for the City and County of San Francisco.
