Great Lakes CU and LetMeDoIt announce partnership to advance financial inclusion

Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) and LetMeDoIt today announced a new partnership focused on advancing financial accessibility and independence for communities too often overlooked by traditional financial systems.

Together, the organizations will reimagine how financial tools and services are designed — placing accessibility, dignity, and real-world usability at the center. The partnership supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, seniors, caregivers, and families by building systems that reflect how people actually manage money in their daily lives.

Through collaboration and community input, GLCU and LetMeDoIt will develop solutions that strengthen everyday financial management, promote long-term financial security, and reduce vulnerability to fraud and financial exploitation. The goal is to move beyond accommodation toward true inclusion by design.

“At Great Lakes Credit Union, our cooperative mission is grounded in people helping people. Advancing financial inclusion for individuals with disabilities reflects our commitment to ensuring every member has access to tools and support that promote confidence, independence, and financial well-being. Our partnership with LetMeDoIt is an important step toward building a more accessible and equitable financial future,” said Michael Abraham, Chief Strategy Officer, Great Lakes Credit Union.

“As a parent and product innovator, I’ve seen how traditional financial systems unintentionally exclude people who process information differently. LetMeDoIt was built to bridge that gap — to create tools that support independence while respecting autonomy. This partnership is about redesigning finance so it works in real life, not just on paper,” Amit Sahgal, Co-Founder, LetMeDoIt said.

“Financial independence should not depend on ability. When systems are designed with us — not for us — everyone benefits,” concluded Angad Sahgal, Founder, LetMeDoIt

Together, the organizations are working toward a future where financial independence is not the exception, but the expectation.
