Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The U.S. financial system, one of the largest in the world, can be a powerful engine for shared prosperity, personal freedom, and economic opportunity for all people and small businesses.
To strengthen this crucial infrastructure so more households can access, use, and benefit from it, Aspen FSP calls for a combination of private sector leadership, a supportive regulatory environment, and consumer-centered insights.
What We Do
We approach this systems-level work in three ways: fraud and scams; financial inclusion; and market innovation.
Fraud and Scams
We strengthen fraud and scam protection by convening the National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention.
Aspen FSP partners with leaders and stakeholders to help realize the recommendations in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion.
We explore and research how new and existing technology, such as digital ID and blockchain, can enhance consumers’ financial stability, resilience, and wealth-building outcomes.
The National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention
Every year, criminals defraud and scam American households out of more than $158 billion. This is a national security crisis, and the problem is only getting worse.
We need a coordinated national strategy that enables the government and private sector to work together to stop fraud, cut off criminal funding, and protect America. The National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention, launched by Aspen FSP, leads this cross-sector effort to seek a more secure future.
