Affiliate Lease Launches Financial Literacy Platform

BOSTON, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Affiliate Lease launches a revolutionary program to address the issue of financial literacy on a community level. Wednesday, February 17th commemorates the national introduction of Affiliate Lease's innovative financial literacy platform. This unique program offers communities a source of financial education along with the necessary tools to make educated economic decisions.

Affiliate lease's innovative system offers a long term solution for financial illiteracy and debt in America by providing communities with a full-service online credit education. This educational tool, designed to improve money management skills, includes complete transparency of all fees, rates and details and allows members to interact with one another to share their experiences and knowledge.

The government has taken a paternalistic approach in addressing financial literacy with the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure (CARD) Act. This act will be effective in adding financial literacy to the curriculum of several educational institutions but not in addressing the real problem, lack of awareness. Affiliate Lease has found more than a way to address this issue; they have found the way to solve it. Sharing the firm belief that people will seek products rather than credit education, Affiliate Lease joined the financial literacy effort by creating their break through system. Founder of Affiliate Lease, Russ Nauta believes that people have a right to be educated about financial products. Nauta states "The pieces of the puzzle have always been there in different channels, they just haven't been used in unison as a complete system, until now. Providing people with the necessary tools to review, compare and gather all facts about products before committing to them is truly the next step in the financial literacy movement."

Affiliate Lease's customizable program is suited for colleges and universities, local non-profit chapters and anywhere with a pre-existing community infrastructure. It is just the answer needed to increase the effectiveness of financial education in times of economic uncertainty.
