In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) invites organizations that serve the U.S. Spanish-speaking population and members of their communities to participate in an upcoming webinar that will highlight the agency’s Spanish-language consumer resources. The webinar will be conducted in Spanish and is scheduled for October 12, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Registration is required.
The webinar will review the many free resources available in Spanish throughout the FDIC’s webpage at www.fdic.gov.
These resources include: the Money Smart financial education program, which offers scripted, instructor-led materials and self-paced online learning tools; Deposit Insurance Coverage information; and resources geared to protecting funds at insured banks. The free seminar also highlights Consumer Protection Resources, including consumer rights, billing errors and resolution basics.
The FDIC maintains resources available in Spanish so that consumers and community-based organizations that serve the Spanish-speaking population can learn more about the benefits of a banking relationship, including community outreach, consumer protection, and deposit insurance. Organizations and members of their communities interested in learning more about resources in Spanish can contact DCPCommunityAffairsHQ@FDIC.gov. The FDIC also has Spanish-speaking experts available to answer questions about deposit insurance coverage and consumer protection by calling 1-877-ASK-FDIC.
Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15.
