Financial education means financial stability for you, your family, and your community. The more you know about credit and financial services, the more like you are to: increase your savings, buy a home, and improve your financial health and well being. Mindset Matters, Inc. has teamed up with The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to provide banking and credit training workshops particularly for people with little or no banking experience.

Identity Theft Workshop
Identity theft affects millions of people every day. It’s one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, and as our society becomes more and more involved in online banking and shopping, it will continue to rise. The Identity Theft Workshop gives you the information you need to know about the crime of identity theft. It provides you with detailed information to help you deter, detect, and defend yourself against identity theft.
Consumers will learn how to avoid identity theft, and what to do if their identity is stolen. Business owners and managers will learn how to help their customers deal with identity theft, as well as how to prevent problems in the first place.
