MONEY MATTERS with Christopher Hensley

 

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.

Today we were joined by Bank on Houston Coordinator Denise Carpenter .
