世界赌博十大网站 Partners with Operation Hope to Offer Financial Counseling for Underserved Populations

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 8, 2018) – 世界赌博十大网站 is partnering with Operation HOPE, an award-winning national nonprofit organization that works to increase economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income populations, to launch HOPE Inside programming at two branches in Nashville and Memphis.

HOPE Inside is a financial empowerment model that provides coaching on credit and money management, homeownership preparedness, and small-business development programs, all offered at no cost to the client.

世界赌博十大网站’s HOPE Inside programs will initially concentrate on helping people establish a financial foundation for home ownership and establish good credit scores. Coaches in Nashville and Memphis will work inside designated 世界赌博十大网站 financial centers.

In Nashville, HOPE Inside will operate from 世界赌博十大网站’s MetroCenter office located at 1 Vantage Way, Suite 230. The HOPE Inside in Memphis will operate from the 世界赌博十大网站 financial center at 6482 Poplar Ave.

Those receiving counseling do not have to be 世界赌博十大网站 customers or have an account with any other bank.

“This is a great opportunity for 世界赌博十大网站 to continue its outreach to underserved communities in Nashville and Memphis,” said 世界赌博十大网站 President and CEO Chris Holmes. “We are committed to doing our part to help deserving individuals and families increase their financial stability and plan for the future.”

Calvin Dunning, a vice president and fair lending officer at 世界赌博十大网站’s MetroCenter office who was recently named to Operation HOPE’s Midwestern Board of Directors, will serve as the bank’s liaison for the program.

“In addition to being available in our financial centers, our Operation HOPE financial well-being coaches will conduct 10 to 12 workshops during the year at various locations in the community, such as churches, libraries and community centers,” Dunning said. “The Nashville coach will also be bilingual in order to provide help to members of city’s growing Hispanic population.”

“We are honored to partner with 世界赌博十大网站 to expand our HOPE Inside presence in communities in Nashville and Memphis,” said Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer John Hope Bryant. “The mission of HOPE is to create a stronger, more inclusive economy through financial empowerment – and financial dignity. Imagine the difference HOPE Inside is making in people’s lives as they improve their credit scores by 100 points or more. Think about the impact on families and communities as more people and more local businesses succeed. And, consider the new investments and jobs that come to communities where people are financially secure.”
