“We believe financial inclusion is not a privilege but a fundamental right. And we know access to financial literacy is critical to economic mobility for the underserved. We want to dismantle barriers to resources that can transform lives,” said Aequalend CEO and Co-Founder Marc Hernandez. “By leveraging cutting-edge technology, embracing diversity, facilitating knowledge and maintaining an unwavering commitment to our mission, Aequalend is poised to redefine financial inclusion in the United States.”
The TIAA Institute-GFLEC Personal Finance Index, an annual study that assesses financial literacy among U.S. adults, reports significantly lower financial literacy rates among Hispanic and Black Americans, who correctly answered 6% and 7% of P-Fin Index questions, respectively. White and Asian Americans correctly answered 24% and 23% of the questions, respectively. Additionally, financial literacy rates are declining with each generation, which only compounds the financial challenges Gen Z faces.
“As minorities ourselves, we’ve witnessed the struggles that result from the inclusion gap firsthand – both amongst our families and our customers,” said Aequalend President and Co-Founder Sandra Estrella. “Not only is there a lack of affordable, accessible and culturally competent financial products to meet these consumers’ needs, they’re already behind from birth and very rarely catch up because they lack financial literacy. And a lack of financial literacy in the U.S. isn’t unique to minorities; it’s a major issue that’s also currently impacting Gen Z across all races and ethnicities. We want to make a difference.”
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
The nation is witnessing the intersection of finance and technology, as well as a surge in minority entrepreneurs, families and individuals looking to shape their financial destinies. These factors are transforming the way people manage their money, access credit, invest and make payments – democratizing access to previously exclusive financial services. With a focus on financial inclusion, innovation and community empowerment, as well as a commitment to transparency, Aequalend is well-positioned to make a lasting difference in the lives of the individuals and communities it supports.
Hernandez and Estrella have a combined 40 years of financial services experience with a focus on helping minorities purchase homes. Aequalend’s team brings vast experience in finance, technology and community development, as well as a profound grasp of compliance requirements, to the table. The company currently serves residents in Texas, Georgia, Colorado, Florida and Washington, D.C., and plans to expand its operations across the U.S. in the coming months.
As it grows its national presence, Aequalend is also looking to grow its team with associates who share its vision for a more equitable financial future in the U.S. and an undivided approach to finance.
About Aequalend
Aequalend (pronounced eh-KWUH-lend) is a minority-owned fintech company seeking to revolutionize the financial services industry by addressing financial exclusion in the U.S. With a focus on innovative technology, affordable financial solutions and financial literacy education, the company’s mission is to help close the financial wealth gap and build generational wealth within underserved populations across America. Aequalend is headquartered in Houston. To learn more, visit www.aequalend.com

Salary and benefits have always been important in attracting talent and it is not a surprise that in the current market, organizations have reexamined their compensation packages to ensure that they stack up in the marketplace. Offering work location options, work/life flexibility, a culture of continued learning and development, and meaningful work is notable in hiring and retaining key talent.
Fifty-two percent of the survey respondents report the average vacancy/length of time to replace or hire new talent is 60-120 days, with 20% reporting a longer length of time before positions are filled. “Longer length of time to fill positions is reflective of a job market where candidates have choices, particularly in larger markets. The specific length of time to get a new employee in place varies based on role, the candidate pool in a specific location, flexibility for remote or hybrid options, and the organization’s efficiency of recruitment strategies,” said Gebhardt.
Despite the turbulence in DEIB efforts in 2023, a commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging remains critical to employee recruiting, acquisition, engagement, and retention. As an increasing number of organizations have DEIB programs in place, focus has turned to integration and accountability of program efforts. Candidates want to know if a DEIB program is in place and how employers are measuring progress.
Job Boards seem to be a base standard to recruit nonprofit talent, casting a wide net to a range of job seekers. Even with a myriad of methodologies to reach new candidates – nine were surveyed — less than 50% of the respondents feel they are reaching the best candidates. The most difficult roles to fill are Development (46% of respondents), followed by Program Management, Finance, and Administration.
