Financial Empowerment Council

The Financial Empowerment Council guides the work of the Office of Financial Empowerment (OFE). This advisory council consists of up to 21 members who are appointed by the Attorney General and share a commitment to growing the financial health and resilience of Colorado communities. The council provides guidance to the OFE in:

  • defining, identifying, creating, expanding, and increasing access to ownership, financial well-being, and safe and affordable banking and financial services that help improve the financial stability of unbanked and underbanked individuals and families; and
  • identifying products and practices that may undermine financial stability.
