Connecting with Hispanic customers during Financial Literacy Month
Did you know April is Financial Literacy Month? This can be a great time to check in with customers, share resources and tie in the importance of protection and building financial security, especially in uncertain times. For Hispanic customers, personal finance knowledge lags behind the overall U.S. population. With the disparate impact of COVID-19 on the Hispanic community it’s even more crucial to help support this very important audience when they need it most.
Financial Empowerment Charlas program
For the second year, Nationwide is offering this video/podcast series designed to help the Hispanic community make informed and effective decisions with their finances. The first Charla recording covering student debt is now available, and you can share with customers the next two available for registration:
The series is hosted by Hispanic finance experts, Paul Roldán, CFP, Vivi Schenk, financial freedom strategist, and Karen Vergara, CPA.
In addition to Charlas program, here are a few additional ways you can provide value to Hispanic customers to help them make decisions to save costs, protect their family and plan for the future.
