ATLANTA, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax
Inc. (NYSE: EFX), today announced the second live webinar
in its "You Ask, Bev Answers" series, on Wednesday, June 3, featuring Beverly Anderson, President of Global Consumer
Solutions at Equifax. This segment will explore how Americans can
help manage their credit and finances as the U.S. economy begins to
open.
"In a recent Equifax Consumer Credit Confidence Survey, nearly
70 percent of Americans surveyed were worried about the impact of
the Coronavirus pandemic on their financial futures," Anderson
said. "As the U.S. begins to re-open, there are important and
unique concerns consumers have about their respective financial
well-being. We want to ensure there is an open dialogue about how
consumers can remain credit healthy as they navigate
these challenging times."
As the U.S. economy and businesses begin to reopen, people
remain concerned about their financial health. According to a
recent study by Pew Research Center, 43% of the people surveyed
said that they or someone in their household has lost a job or
taken a cut in pay due to the outbreak, up from 33% in the latter
half of March. Among lower-income adults, an even higher share
(52%) say they or someone in their household has experienced this
type of job upheaval.
In this upcoming webinar, Ilyce
Glink, renowned personal financial expert and CEO of Best
Money Moves, will join Beverly for a second webinar to provide tips
on how to best manage finances and credit. "It's hard to see so
many of our friends, family and colleagues facing financially
difficult times," Glink said. "We hope to provide a place where
everyone can get information that's useful, timely, and will help
them get through these uncertain times."
Equifax is committed to helping people live their financial
best. This series supports that commitment by providing consumers
with the information they need to protect their credit and their
families' financial wellness during this unprecedented situation.
Consumers can find additional resources at the Equifax COVID +
Credit Financial Resource Center, which is updated regularly with
new articles and resources.
