Financial Education & Advocacy
Purposeful Finance attempts to improve financial literacy and advocate for more consumer-focused financial services through articles distributed through Apple News, our website, and other outlets. In addition to financial education and guidance, we actively support a fiduciary legal standard of care for consumers and minimizing questionable practices such as presenting commissioned sales of financial products as ‘advice'.
Articles are written to provide education on personal finance topics and help consumers advocate for themselves with the financial services industry. For example: after the massive Equifax data breach, Purposeful Finance published step by step directions on how to opt out of the Equifax arbitration clause.
