Money Week Houston

Community Initiative

Today’s dynamic and complex financial markets demand that consumers be effective money managers. Especially at risk are unbanked and underserved communities who may be unfamiliar with the fundamentals of personal financial management. Consumers in many communities may be unaware of the value of saving through bank accounts or may not have the money management skills needed to prepare for unexpected life events or to accumulate assets and build long-term wealth.

The Money Week Houston Community Initiative highlights roles that community organizations can play through their participation in financial literacy initiatives. The Community Initiative promotes programs like Bank on Houston that target the unbanked and underserved markets by increasing consumer awareness of available, appropriate, and safe financial products.
