FICO to Host a Booth and Engage with Thousands
at the Las Vegas Asian Night Market, Empowering the Asian American
and Pacific Islander Community with Financial Literacy
Resources
Global analytics software leader, FICO, will host a booth at the
Las Vegas Asian Night Market, offering attendees resources,
including educational brochures and information about financial
literacy, credit, and the importance of credit health. The 5th
annual Asian Night Market will take place on October 19th from 5PM
- 11PM at the College of Southern NV, Charleston Campus to serve
local businesses, create a space of community, and display the rich
tapestry of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander
(AANHPI) culture for everyone to enjoy.
FICO and The Asian Community Development Council (ACDC), a
nonprofit dedicated to improving the well-being and education of
the AANHPI and other ethnic communities in Nevada, are partnering
to bridge financial literacy gaps by offering valuable resources at
the Las Vegas Asian Night Market.
Understanding how credit scores function is crucial for
individuals and families striving for financial stability. For many
in the AANHPI community, low credit health and limited financial
literacy can hinder both short- and long-term goals, such as
homeownership, education, and business financing. At FICO’s booth,
attendees will find educational brochures and resources that cover
topics like improving credit health, understanding FICO® Scores,
and learning how to develop strong financial habits. They will also
learn how to obtain their FICO® Scores for free at myFICO.com and
have the opportunity to schedule a free consultation with Money
Management International (MMI) to discuss their credit reports and
create actionable plans for achieving their financial goals.
"We are proud to partner with the AANHPI Community to provide
resources and knowledge about financial literacy. This partnership
aims to empower and encourage informed decision-making that fosters
lasting economic well-being to the heart of this community,"
said Jenelle Dito, FICO Scores client services. "FICO is
committed to enhancing understanding of credit scores, and we look
forward to engaging with attendees, answering their questions, and
supporting them in taking control of their financial futures."
In addition to the educational resources, attendees can
participate in a raffle for tickets to the South Point 400
NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday, October 20, 2024, at
11:30 AM as part of the 2024 Fall NASCAR Weekend in
Las Vegas, featuring thrilling races and the chance to see all your
favorite drivers.
“We’re excited for FICO to join us at the much-anticipated Las
Vegas Asian Night Market and share essential financial resources
and education with our AANHPI Community,” said Vida Lin,
President and Founder of ACDC. “Together we are empowering our
community by helping bridge the gap in financial literacy,
equipping individuals with practical tools to better manage their
finances and achieve their long-term goals. We look forward to
continuing this partnership at future events, expanding access to
these valuable resources and deepening our impact.”
The Asian Night Market celebrates the AANHPI culture while
supporting local businesses. Vendors at the event will retain 100%
of their profits, further benefiting the local economy and 100% of
net proceeds from ticket sales will support and provide resources
and services to the community.
