Series of educational activities aim to teach
consumers about credit and savings during America Saves Week
In a continued effort to educate consumers about factors
influencing their financial health on the road to recovery from the
pandemic, Experian® today announced a series of activities in
recognition of America Saves Week, including an Instagram Live
event on Feb. 23 at 11:30 a.m. PST with Akbar Gbajabiamila, host of
American Ninja Warrior, former football pro and financial fitness
expert.
“Educating consumers about credit and how it relates to overall
financial health is critical, especially in our current
environment,” said Rod Griffin, senior director of consumer
education and advocacy at Experian. “We are excited to partner with
Akbar to educate people about credit reports and scores, the
relationship between credit and savings and how free tools like
Experian Boost can help improve access to credit.”
Gbajabiamila played five years as a linebacker and defensive end
with the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins
before retiring in 2008. Gbajabiamila is currently a member of the
CNBC Financial Wellness Council and author of “Everyone Can Be a
Ninja” with a heart for financial literacy.
“I’m excited to be working with Experian to educate people about
credit and finance,” said Gbajabiamila. “Credit plays a big role in
your overall financial health. Getting educated and being proactive
are two of the best ways to protect your overall credit standing
and to move forward financially.”
Griffin will join the Instagram Live event with Gbajabiamila to
dispel common credit myths, answer questions and educate people
about the relationship between credit and savings. Users can join
