🚗 Norma Fralin's Story: Gaining Freedom with Responsible Rides 🚗 For Norma, having reliable transportation wasn’t just about convenience — it was a lifeline. Without a car, everyday tasks like getting to work or caring for her family became overwhelming. But with limited financial resources, securing a vehicle seemed out of reach. That’s where Freedom First Credit Union, a dedicated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), stepped in. Through their Responsible Rides Program, Norma was able to access affordable financing and finally purchase a reliable car. This program doesn't just provide vehicles; it gives individuals like Norma the opportunity to regain their independence and build a better future. 🚘💼 Freedom First Credit Union is one of the many CDFIs that CNote partners with through the Flagship Fund, ensuring capital flows into programs that support individuals and families in need of economic empowerment.

It's Global Money Week - the annual campaign that raises awareness of the importance of ensuring young people are financially aware. At MyBnk, we recognise that in the current financial climate, with the cost-of-living crisis, digitalisation of money and introduction of new financial services and products, it's easy for young people to become overwhelmed and make ill-informed decisions. Such decisions can make young people more susceptible to scams. This year's theme is 'protect your money, secure your future' and covers the importance of being aware of any risks in the financial sector, including scams, fraud and money muling, and protecting your hard-earned money. Have a read of our blog to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eNPKZvbt We'll be posting content throughout the week with the aim of helping young people become more financially aware and in turn, more financially confident. Stay tuned! #ProtectYourMoney #SecureYourFuture #GMW2024 #GlobalMoneyWeek #money #FinancialEducation #FinancialLiteracy #charity
