CFPB offers Spanish-language resources and financial tools for members

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is offering educational tools in English and Spanish to better serve Hispanic and Latino communities.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2018, the Hispanic population in the U.S. was made up of just under 60 million people, or nearly one-fifth of the nation’s population. The CFPB recognizes the great variation in the needs, interests, and financial well-being of Hispanic and Latino households. Its resources can be useful for individuals and families during many different stages of their economic life, as they pursue the goals and aspirations that are important to them.

Resources include:

• Buying a home or shopping for a mortgage;
• Checking credit scores;
• Rebuilding credit scores;
• Comparing auto loan offers;
• Planning for retirement;
• Opening a credit union account;
• Selecting financial products and services;
• Saving at tax time;
• Making the most of a tax refund; and
• Getting answers to common financial questions.
