RushCard Presents Forum for People to Maximize Their Plastic, Express Their Views

CINCINNATI, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- RushCard introduced today a new online community that allows prepaid card members and others to gain information about ways to manage their personal finances from experts and other community members.  The online community at flexyourfreedom.com will provide regular information to help people "get their money right" and assert their freedom from costly bank fees.

Flexyourfreedom.com includes news about saving money, jobs and more; a financial forum where people can share personal finance tips and inspiring stories; and quizzes and polls that will encourage community members to take steps towards a better financial position.  Promotions and giveaways exclusive to the site—including signed books authored by philanthropist Russell Simmons--will also help to build a community of financially savvy participants.  RushCard's goal with the site is to empower people with information and enable them to tell the world about the smart decisions they've made with their money.

"Flexyourfreedom.com will not only educate RushCard customers, but also promote financial freedom & literacy to everyone; especially those who need it most," said RushCard founder Russell Simmons.  

Journalists and experts are invited to use the site as a resource to see the concerns and issues important to those who don't use traditional banks.  RushCard.com will remain unchanged as the online tool for RushCard members to manage the funds on their cards and for people to apply for the RushCard.
