Wells Fargo Joins First American in Sponsoring the MSN Latino Personal Finance Center

“The First American Corporation (NYSE: FAF) and Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), today announced that Wells Fargo will join First American in sponsoring MSN Latino Finanzas, the personal finance channel on the MSN Latino Web site offering Spanish-language financial education and planning resources for Latinos in the United States. Wells Fargo’s sponsorship will include linking its established Hands on Banking/El futuro en tus manos(R) financial literacy content to the growing collection of tools and resources now available at the MSN Latino Finanzas (http://www.msnlatino.com/finanzas).

Introduced in January 2004, the Hands on Banking Program (http://www.handsonbanking.org), and its Spanish language counterpart El futuro en tus manos (http://www.elfuturoentusmanos.org), is an interactive series of free and entertaining learning modules that teach students and adults the basics of good money management. The curriculum, taught to thousands in classrooms and through wealth building seminars, is of particular benefit to students, low-income families, and recent immigrants. El futuro en tus manos provides customized financial literacy education in Spanish for four age groups, ranging from 4th grade through adult. The adults’ curriculum features special sections on responsible use of credit, buying a home, investing, and starting and managing a small business. “Wells Fargo is a long-time leader in providing innovative tools and resources that help the Latino community better understand and participate in banking and finance,” said Lawrence A. Fried, vice president of Market Development at First American. “We are truly pleased that they have joined us in sponsoring MSN Latino Finanzas and view their educational content as an integral part of our shared goal of increasing financial literacy, homeownership rates, and true wealth and stability in America’s Hispanic communities.”"
