Introduction:

This summer Colorado Credit Union has had two interns working with different departments within our organization. One of our interns, Lorenzo Giovanetti, offered to write a blog for the marketing department. He picked a subject matter that interested him and one he thought others might find helpful. What follows is his thorough explanation about the history and current state of cryptocurrency. Thank you, Lorenzo, for helping educate our members about cryptocurrency.

Identity theft and financial fraud are on the rise. It is important to stay educated and as up-to-date as possible so you don’t become a victim. One way to help protect yourself from becoming a victim is freezing your credit report at the major credit bureaus- Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Credit freezing is free to do - another reason why you should do it.

At Colorado Credit Union, our staff spends a lot of time teaching financial literacy in the community. We regularly have staff in area high schools helping students prepare for a financially independent future. Over the years, certain topics have come up repeatedly. These are questions that students either aren’t comfortable asking their parents or the parents don’t discuss with their child.
