DURHAM, N.C. — The $56 billion Latino Community Credit Union has announced graduating 40 adults from its financial literacy programs this year.
The credit union celebrated the graduations at a ceremony planned to coincide with the credit union's annual meeting. The 40 graduates have completed the CUs free educational effort which covered topics such as the benefits of a checking account and debit card, how to save and develop a good budget, credit histories, credit cards, tips for buying a good car and how to prepare to buy a home.
The CU offers the workshops three times a year. In every branch, there is a financial education facilitator who organizes and carries out the workshops.
