Money Smart Program Adds Vietnamese
Federal bank regulators planned to roll out a Vietnamese-language version of their Money Smart financial-education program today in partnership with community leaders in Orange County’s Little Saigon.
The 10-session Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. program includes tips on using credit, the importance of savings and checking accounts and home ownership. It also examines how to avoid abusive and deceptive lenders as well as the high cost of payday loans and check-cashing operations.
The FDIC already has versions of Money Smart in Spanish, Korean and Chinese.
