The Financial Services Roundtable Launches New Personal Finance Website
Mymoneymanagement.net offers consumers personal finance news, tools and financial literacy resources

WASHINGTON, DC, August 11, 2010 – The Financial Services Roundtable today launched My Money Management (www.mymoneymanagement.net), a new website that features the best tools and information from financial services companies, as well as resources on financial counseling and financial education programs.

“This information will help Americans manage their personal finances with new features like hands on financial literacy curriculum,” said Steve Bartlett, President and CEO for the Roundtable. “In this economic climate, it is especially important to present an accessible, streamlined site that delivers real solutions.”

The website features financial calculators, personal finance news, links to financial education programs, and the following:
  • Consumers looking for help in creating a budget or managing debt can enter their zip code to find a trained and certified financial counselor near where they live or work
  • Links to two Roundtable affiliates. Hope Now which helps homeowners avoid foreclosure and ITAC, the Identity Theft Assistance Center which helps consumers prevent and recover from identity theft
  • MyMoneyManagement links consumers to www.annualcreditreport.com where they can request free annual credit reports
  • Real life stories of individuals dealing with financial crisis and the people and organizations that help them
My Money Management will use social media to reach consumers looking for help with specific issues such as managing debt as well as access to comprehensive financial education resources. “Customer-focused companies know they need to be where their customers, and future customers are both online and in the community,” said Anne Wallace, editorial director of My Money Management.  “Our members and partners have an abundance of information on how people can achieve their goals.  Our job is sharing it as far and wide as we can.”

“Financial education is necessary for the financial empowerment of all Americans,” said Judy Chapa, Vice President of Community Services at the Roundtable.  “My Money Management will feature many innovative financial education programs that the Roundtable member companies have developed and implemented in the communities that they serve.”

In addition to My Money Management, the Roundtable’s consumer affiliates include HOPE NOW, which helps homeowners avoid foreclosure, and ITAC, the Identity Theft Assistance Center which helps consumers avoid and recover from identity fraud.

The Financial Services Roundtable represents 100 of the largest integrated financial services companies providing banking, insurance, and investment products and services to the American consumer.  Roundtable member companies provide fuel for America's economic engine, accounting directly for $74.7 trillion in managed assets, $1.1 trillion in revenue, and 2.3 million jobs.
