FDIC Issues Tips to Help Consumers
Save Hundreds on Loans and Credit Cards
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) issued a collection of 51 simple, practical tips that can help consumers save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on loans and credit cards. The advice, in a special edition of the agency’s quarterly FDIC Consumer News, provides ideas and information on topics such as how to get the best possible interest rates, avoid paying unnecessary fees, and steer clear of credit-related rip-offs and scams.
The new publication, entitled “51 Ways to Save Hundreds on Loans and Credit Cards,” features tips for saving money any time -- in a consumer’s basic financial affairs, when shopping for new credit, and when using loans and credit cards. In addition, it includes special tips just for credit cards as well as home, auto, student and small business loans. There’s also a section on how people who need a small amount of cash fast can find affordable alternatives to high-cost, nonbank service providers.
