National Military Consumer Protection Month is observed in July. It is a time to increase the financial readiness of servicemembers, veterans, and military families. Military families make enormous sacrifices for our nation, but as a result of their service, they often face unique financial challenges, especially with credit. The FDIC Money Smart webpage is a great place to start, or continue, to learn more about how credit works and how to manage it. Visit FDIC How Money Smart Are You? modules of Borrowing Basics, Credit Reports and Scores, and Using Credit Cards for further information. https://lnkd.in/eGSrt3T

We wanted to share a few pictures from Steve Lepper's Farewell Luncheon this afternoon and a portion of Andia's words to Steve... "Steve has an amazing sense of humor - we laugh - A LOT when we're together. Friend, mentor, boss, family, confidant, there are so many words to use...but I will end with this one...MISSED. You and Kathy will be missed, even though I know you will be back from time to time, you deserve to enjoy your family in 'real' retirement"

Do military families really need to move so much? Moving to a new base every few years is among the most taxing requirements military families face. But is all that effort to uproot really necessary? A new report from a leading advocacy group argues it’s time to give the pace of those moves, known as permanent changes of station, a fresh look. Read the full story here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRrgVuz7

The Patriot prepaid debit card is the better solution for managing your finances. Originally created for our Veteran community, the Patriot debit card is available for all eligible Americans. The Patriot card is like having a bank in your wallet. The Patriot debit card gives back, gives you control and gives you peace of mind. In addition to giving you better control of your own finances, the Patriot debit card is perfect for parents and caregivers. All you need to qualify for a Patriot prepaid debit card is be over 18, have a government-issued ID, a valid social security number, a valid email address, and a physical address. That’s it! #PatriotCard #PrePaidDebitCard #Finances #Veterans
