FICO has partnered with American tennis player Chris Eubanks in its latest financial literacy initiative. Eubanks, who broke into the sport’s Top 30 last year, has teamed up with FICO to help raise awareness of the need for financial and credit education as the essential first step to achieving financial literacy.
Eubanks said: “I’m excited to partner with FICO to not only raise awareness about the need for financial education but also learn more about it myself. I was lucky that I learned the financial basics from a pretty young age from a family member and mentor. It’s something that is extremely important to me and to be able to partner with a company like FICO is my way of paying it forward.”
