Newcomer’s Guide to Managing Money
|
 Throughout the United States, people unfamiliar with our financial marketplace are more likely to fall prey to frauds and schemes. Low English proficiency can make it even harder to manage money safely and effectively on a day-to-day basis. To help, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau developed a series of guides that provide straightforward information about basic money decisions.
The guides feature short tips to help newcomers to the United States navigate how to receive money, open an account, pay bills and select financial services and products. They also provide information on how to submit a complaint about a problem with a financial product or service.
