First Tennessee Promotes "CHA720" Effort To Encourage Credit Literacy And Repair

  • Thursday, July 12, 2018

Chattanooga Market President Jeff Jackson is inviting the community to visit Operation HOPE located within the bank’s financial center on Brainerd Road as part of the second annual citywide “CHA720” effort on July 20. The campaign encourages Chattanoogans to rake a hard look at their financial picture and visit the bank to receive free personal, professional credit counseling. 

Bridge Financial Planning, Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise, Common Cents Financial Literacy, Consumer Credit Counseling, and Operation HOPE will partner on the effort to make Chattanoogans more credit savvy as they look at their finances. 

“First Tennessee has been committed to the financial wellness of our community since we opened our doors in Chattanooga over 40 years ago,” said Mr. Jackson.  “This effort allows us to focus on the finances of fellow Chattanoogans who want to make changes to enable them to have a very bright future.  Operation HOPE is just one of many tools available to the community and we look forward to participating in this city-wide effort.”

While reservations are not necessary, those interested are encouraged to contact Tiffany Roan at Tiffany.Roan@OperationHope.org or by calling 423 355-9114 to make an appointment on July 20 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the First Tennessee Financial Center at 5526 Brainerd Road.
