Money Matters 103- Bank on Houston W/ Denise Carpenter

Show Notes

Bank on Houston is dedicated to helping people who do not use or who under use mainstream financial institutions – banks and credit unions. - gain an understanding of their personal finances and establish a relationship with a bank or credit union. Having a relationship with a local bank branch or a credit union goes a long way towards asset building: having a reliable vehicle, buying a home, saving for a college education, having savings for emergencies, and growing savings to become financially secure. Bank on Houston partners with community organizations that provide free financial education/coaching and address life challenges; and with 27 banks and credit unions that provide accounts at no or low monthly service charge, second chance accounts, and other financial services.
