Share Connecting with Hispanic customers during Financial Literacy Month April 8, 2021 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.
