Florida Department of Financial Services Launches Spanish-Language Website; Major State Agency Helps Hispanic Residents Prepare for Hurricane Season and More

“Tom Gallagher, Florida’s chief financial officer, today announced the launch of a Spanish-language version of the Department of Financial Services’ (DFS) consumer website to better serve Florida’s growing Hispanic population. The department used MotionPoint Corporation’s proprietary TransMotion(R) technology and service to deploy its Spanish website.

“Nearly three million Hispanics call Florida home and need access to information that impacts their financial well-being and future,” Gallagher said. “Following the 2004 and 2005 hurricanes, we had the opportunity to help thousands of Spanish-speaking residents, and many asked to get more information on insurance and financial issues in Spanish. My hope is that launching this new technology before the start of the hurricane season will ensure a greater number of Floridians are better protected and prepared if a disaster strikes.”"
