Financial education is critical to understand how to manage money, pay down debt, increase savings and establish credit. Our Fresh Start Financial Education Program is a free online learning platform that includes many important financial topics along with individual credit counseling services. Participants may also be eligible for our Fresh Start Banking Program, featuring a low-cost, no minimum checking account, debit card, online and mobile banking, direct deposit, secured credit card and other credit building products.
First Step Alliance works with reentry organizations, Departments of Corrections, financial services providers and other community-based organizations, to help improve access to mainstream banking services for justice-involved individuals.
