Data from: Community Credit Photovoice project on trust in consumer financial services

Abstract

The Community Credit research project explores pathways for trusted collaboration between credit unions and the communities they serve. To understand the experiences of people historically underserved by the consumer financial services industry, we focused in particular on the lived experience of low-income residents in Southern California. As part of a larger, mixed-methods study, in 2022 we conducted a five-week photovoice workshop exploring participants’ economic lives and experiences with consumer financial services. Photovoice is a community-based participatory research method in which participants narrate and analyze their lived experiences using photography. This data set contains the transcripts from the photovoice sessions after excluding any personally identifying data.
