Kicking off During Credit Education Month at
the Miami Open, FICO and Eubanks will visit local school to talk
about the importance of financial literacy
FICO, a leading analytics software firm, has partnered with
American tennis star Chris Eubanks in its latest financial literacy
initiative. Eubanks, who broke into the sport’s Top 30 last year,
has teamed up with FICO to help raise awareness of the need for
financial and credit education as the essential first step to
achieve financial literacy. The collaboration kicks off as Eubanks
takes the court at the Miami Open.
“I’m excited to partner with FICO to not only raise awareness
about the need for financial education but also learn more about it
myself,” said Chris Eubanks. “I was lucky that I learned the
financial basics from a pretty young age from a family member and
mentor. It’s something that is extremely important to me and to be
able to partner with a company like FICO is my way of paying it
forward.”
The FICO® Score is used by 90% of top U.S. lenders who extend
credit for personal loans, mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and
more, which is why it is so important for people to know their FICO
Score and what impacts it.
“Chris is a performance-oriented athlete and an inspiration to
many. He is someone who deeply understands the importance of
financial literacy and has seen the benefits firsthand on his own
financial journey,” said Nikhil Behl, chief marketing officer at
FICO. “We hope Chris inspires more people to understand the
importance of money and credit education and help them on their
financial journey.”
To kick off the partnership during the Miami Open, Eubanks and
FICO will visit students at Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School on
March 19 to share credit and financial education basics in hopes of
inspiring a lifelong enthusiasm for financial literacy.
