Today we, along with the @biztradegovuk & our key partners @BVCA, @BritishBBank, @resp_finance and @UKFtweets have published the annual Investing in Women Code report. Download now at: eu1.hubs.ly/H0crJGm0

CDFIs invest in underserved places & people.
Compared to mainstream lenders, CDFIs are much more likely to lend to women-led businesses, ethnic minority-led businesses & those in areas of high deprivation.
Thanks @resp_finance for being part of the #FairBankingForAll Campaign.
