Financial Coaching Incentive Program:
Working 1-on-1 with guidance from the AHA’s Financial Success Center, eligible active program participants can expect to address their credit scores as well as their credit utilization percentage. Both of these metrics can be a stumbling block in obtaining housing as well as other financial services, and getting a handle on both is an ideal way to begin your healthy financial journey.
To further incentivize qualified participants, monetary amounts rise with corresponding rises in participants’ credit scores and credit utilization numbers. The credit score incentive, ranging from $400 to $800, will depend on the number of credit score points increased through the course of the program. The credit utilization incentive also ranges from $400 to $800 and depends on the % of the decrease in participant’s credit utilization over the program’s duration. Taken together and fully utilized, the $1,600 available through the Financial Freedom Incentive Program will surely be a welcome addition to anyone’s bottom line.
Eligible residents can participate in both incentive programs to receive up to a maximum of $1,600.
The incentive program is made possible with the generous contributions of JP Morgan Chase.
