April is Financial Empowerment Month
The New Hampshire Banking Department is recognizing Financial Empowerment Month with initiatives to help consumers become more educated about their personal finances.
Started in 2024 with a proclamation from then-New Hampshire Governor Christopher Sununu, Financial Empowerment Month expands on the annual Financial Literacy Month traditionally recognized nationwide in April of each year.
Throughout the month of April, the Banking Department News and Announcements page will have frequent articles highlighting aspects of financial literacy such as cryptocurrency, avoiding scams and fraud, protecting older adults, managing your money, escrow, and educating young adults and children. The Banking Department has created its own materials in addition to compiling resources from federal programs and national organizations and will share information from other New Hampshire agencies as well.
The Financial Empowerment Month resources are located under the “Consumer Assistance” tab on the banner of the Banking Department website and are available year-round.
