[Libs-Or] CFPB Resources for helping multilingual families and newcomers

[WEIBLE Arlene * SLO]

In the United States, financial products and services are generally described in English. For those who primarily speak another language, it can be challenging to understand and use these products and services.

Library outreach staff may also find the compilation of publications (both printed and online) about the financial marketplace in multiple languages useful, as well as the email list to stay informed about new resources - https://www.consumerfinance.gov/language/

I'd also like to call out the CFPB Helpline, which offers assistance in 180 languages:  (855) 411-2372.
