BBB Military Line:
The BBB Foundation supports military and their families by
educating them about wise spending, identity theft and using the BBB as a
resource. The BBB reaches these people through on-base trainings, base event
participation as well as mass media (TV, radio, newspapers, and social media).
As so many people attend, a reliable estimate of the number of people reached
is not available.
Since
2004, BBB Military Line has provided free resources to our military communities
in the areas of financial literacy and consumer protection through the efforts
of 116 BBBs across the U.S.
The five main components of the program are:
1. Education - Many
Local BBBs on and around military installations teach financial readiness
classes to service members.
2. Information - Our
website provides a one stop shop for articles, links and consumer alerts for
each branch of service. Check out our resources page for free
consumer guides written just for military members and find us on Facebook and Twitter.
3. Outreach - We
attend and support community fairs, conferences and other events, speaking with
service members and distributing information.
4. Data Collection -
We analyze BBB data to help identify the threats and needs of our military
community in the marketplace.
5. Complaint and Dispute Resolution -
Filing a complaint with BBB helps military consumers resolve disputes and alert
us to issues affecting the military community at large.
