The new site responded to findings by a 2007 NFCC financial literacy consumer survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates, which showed that "nearly half of all Latino respondents to the survey indicated a desire to improve their financial literacy." It is designed to help consumers understand the best ways to use credit and how to locate a trusted certified counselor if they need assistance.
