Military Saves Events Happening Across Washington

As part of the Washington Finance Alliance, Washington Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) is pleased to support our military personnel with four Military Saves Week events this week – at Fairchild Air Force Base, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor and the Coast Guard in Seattle.

The Washington Finance Alliance is a group of organizations - including Army One Source, The Dept. of Financial Institutions, American Red Cross, Better Business Bureau, and more - devoted to promoting and enhancing financial education throughout Washington State, particularly for military servicemembers and their families.

Holly Petraeus, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Assistant Director of the Office of Servicemember Affairs, is headlining these events – talking directly with base leaders, servicemembers, family members and local organizations supporting our military personnel about the financial challenges our military members face and how the CFPB and local organizations can help.
