Wachovia Expands Its Financial Literacy Program With Launch of Credit Education Class

Wachovia announced today that it has developed a new tool to teach the basics of managing credit.

“Extra Credit,” a financial literacy lesson designed for classroom delivery, addresses advanced credit topics, including debt management and how to establish and maintain good credit. It is currently available in English and will be available in Spanish by the end of 2006.

“Understanding credit — and how it can affect almost every aspect of your financial life — is crucial today,” said Mike Rizer, Wachovia’s director of Community Relations. “We developed this class because we’re committed to teaching skills that help people take control of their financial futures.”
