Nebraska Appleseed teamed up with the Appleseed Foundation and Centers in Texas, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Kansas to develop a series of Spanish and English language brochures to advise Latino consumers on opening bank accounts and a range of financial issues. The colorful nine-part series covers such topics as: How To Open a Checking or Savings Account; Car Loans; Credit, Debit, and ATM Cards; Home Ownership; How To Avoid Dangerous Loans; Identification Needed for an Account; Reduce Your Taxes; Send Money Back Home; and Using Credit Cards.

We thank the Immigrant Rights Network of Iowa & Nebraska and the many community members across several states who provided invaluable input and identified the primary questions and concerns about using the banking system.
