Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Athena Lent of “Money Smart Latina” and Eric dive into the important lessons Athena learned while spending time with Junior Achievement students and how these lessons would later start Athena’s career in personal finance education. We’ll discuss the systemic issues facing Latinx people, particularly Latina women, and how alternative banking solutions like Payactiv can help lift people out of poverty by offering free tools, financial support, education, and protection from fee snowballs.
Payacitv offers free 1:1 financial counseling in the free Payactiv app (text and data rates apply), and the Payactiv Visa Card* has no overdraft fees, no monthly fees, and no minimum balance fees. Follow Athena on Slate’s weekly finance column “Pay Dirt”.
*The Payactiv Visa® Prepaid Card is issued by the Central Bank of Kansas City, Member FDIC. Central Bank of Kansas City is the issuer of the Payactiv Visa Prepaid Card only and does not administer, endorse, nor is liable for the Payactiv App.
