HOUSTON—People’s Trust FCU has partnered with San Diego-based financial education company iGrad to offer the Enrich financial wellness platform to its 30,000 members.
Enrich is used by more than 20,000 employers and more than 300 financial institutions nationwide to provide behavior-changing financial literacy education, tools and resources to employees, customers and members.
People’s Trust Federal Credit Union Community Outreach Specialist Shelly Chinnery said that the credit union is offering Enrich as a key resource to help members achieve greater control over their finances through lasting behavior change.
“We could not have launched Enrich at a better time than April, which is Financial Literacy Month,” Chinnery said. “We believe Enrich embodies everything Financial Literacy Month stands for, including financial improvement and wellness.”
Enrich offers adaptive, interactive financial education content on topics including student loan debt, mortgages, budgeting, investing, retirement, long-term health care and more, the credit union reported, noting recent studies show that the pandemic has worsened financial stress for most Americans, especially lower-income workers and people of color.
“Enrich can help people of all income levels and in all stages of life,” said iGrad Vice President of Client Development and Research Todd Woodlee. “People’s Trust Federal Credit Union is demonstrating the importance of financial wellness by offering Enrich to members, who can access the platform virtually and receive customized financial education specific to their needs and situation.”
