FICO’s Score A Better Future event invites
Atlanta residents to learn about credit and personal finance,
empowering them to achieve their financial goals
Global analytics software leader, FICO, will host a free Score A
Better Future ™ (SABF) for adults and, in partnership with the YMCA
of Metro Atlanta, a Score A Better Future Fundamentals credit
education event for teens, both events on July 31, 2024. These
events aim to provide Atlanta residents with the knowledge and
resources necessary to enhance their understanding of their future
financial health, including the role of credit and an overview of
the FICO® Score, the credit score used by 90% of top US lenders to
make lending decisions.
In collaboration with Chelsea FC and the U.S. Soccer Foundation,
as part of FICO’s ‘Fields of Financial Empowerment’ partnership,
participants of SABF and Fundamentals workshops will get the
opportunity to attend the Chelsea x Club America match, held
shortly after the event at 7:00 p.m. EDT at the Mercedes-Benz
Stadium.
The Fields of Financial Empowerment tour aims to increase access
to financial literacy education across the United States,
addressing the need to enhance understanding of credit and personal
finance through a sequence of workshops. FICO’s Score A Better
Future Fundamentals program is designed to educate high school and
middle school students on how FICO® Scores can impact their future
and how to develop good financial habits. With the support of the
U.S. Soccer Foundation, teens are brought to these workshops to
gain valuable financial knowledge.
“FICO is dedicated to expanding access to financial literacy
education, providing communities across the nation with the tools
needed to empower individuals to reach their financial goals,” said
Jenelle Dito, FICO Scores client services. “We look forward
to engaging with local residents, addressing their questions, and
supporting their financial journey.”
The Atlanta SABF event registrants will be able to hear from our
partners at Money Management International (MMI) and have an
opportunity to set up a free consultation with MMI to get their
FICO® Score, discuss their credit report, and set a plan to achieve
their financial goals.
“The Y is committed to helping individuals achieve their goals
and meet their potential in all aspects of life,” said Lauren
Koontz, president and CEO of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta.
“Through this impactful partnership with FICO, we’re able to
educate youths on the importance of positive financial habits and
provide tools to help them reach their financial goals.”
