At the Plaza Sol Retirees Center, the Department of Policies for Senior Citizens of the Municipality of Concordia, in collaboration with Banco Hipotecario, held a Financial Inclusion Workshop for Senior Citizens.
Gladys Portugal, head of the Department of Policies for the Elderly, pointed out that these types of workshops will continue in other Retiree Centers in the city with the goal that people have knowledge of different tools when, for example, using an ATM and thus avoid falling for scams.
“Many times they go to banks and when it comes to performing operations, they lend their debit cards and run the risk of being scammed. With these talks, what we seek is to prevent these types of actions so they can operate alone, independently,” she remarked.
The next workshop is on February 28 at the La Bianca Retiree Center and the call is open to all residents of the city.
