“Experian has been a welcome and creative partner to UnidosUS
through its support of our Financial Empowerment Network (FEN),”
said Lot Diaz, Vice President, Housing and Financial Empowerment at
UnidosUS. “Our program is expanding its reach to provide financial
education and coaching to Latino families who are working to
rebuild their financial lives after major setbacks during the
pandemic. We are honored to have Experian’s support in reaching
more families at this critical moment in time through the FEN. 2021
is an even more important year for this service, and Experian’s
partnership is helping us be present and available in more ways
than ever before.”
”Credit education, especially provided in-language, can make a
big difference in breaking down cultural misconceptions or fear
about what credit is. When used properly, credit can bring value to
consumers’ lives. We’re proud to work with UnidosUS to serve their
members and the Hispanic-Latino community. Financial inclusion is
giving everyone the knowledge and tools that lead to empowerment
towards financial health and our partnership is another step in
achieving that goal,” said Wil Lewis, Chief Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion Officer for Experian.
Through this partnership, Experian is supporting UnidosUS’
Financial Empowerment Network, which brings together more than 25
UnidosUS Affiliates in 14 communities to offer free,
individualized, culturally-relevant support to Latino families.
Since July 2019, Affiliates in the FEN have driven more than 1,200
people into financial coaching, and helped them build credit and
savings, reduce debt, and improve their daily financial habits, the
total effect of which was an additional $1.72 million dollars in
clients’ pockets. Experian credit education resources such as a
Spanish-language consumer education e-book and the new monthly
#chatdecrédito launched during Hispanic Heritage Month are
available to UnidosUS affiliates and all consumers.
Investing in communities is a key pillar of Experian’s Corporate
Social Responsibility program. The partnership is part of
Experian’s United for Financial Health initiative, which aims to
empower and protect vulnerable consumers to improve their financial
health through education and action.
