In honor of Financial Literacy Month, we hosted the first session in a new series focused on financial empowerment in collaboration with our partners at Citizens on April 29th. Citizens is committed to helping people achieve financial success by providing accessible banking solutions, expert advice, and a wide range of products tailored to your needs. Alejandro Restrepo, Vice President and Retail Regional Manager and Veterans BRG Community Pillar Lead, led the session with a walkthrough on setting financial goals and building healthy money habits. The webinar offered a broad overview of opening and managing bank accounts, budgeting and saving strategies, debt management, and how to protect yourself from fraud. Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or looking for a refresher, this session provided valuable tools to take charge of your financial future!
