CLEARWATER, FL, November 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- VeteransPlus announces the launch of COMPASS, a personal financial management platform designed to meet the needs of military Servicemembers, Veterans and their families. Developed in partnership between VeteransPlus and Debt.com, COMPASS addresses a critical need for improved financial literacy among this growing population, and includes features like transaction monitoring, budgets and interactive cash flow reporting. Additionally by the end of 2015, VeteransPlus will launch The Yellow Ribbon Network, which will include COMPASS and other free programs to provide military members, Veterans and their families with options that support the development of good financial habits.
"VeteransPlus partnered with Debt.com due to their quality leadership and alignment with the overall financial services mission as well as their passion to assist military families and veterans with solutions to modern day financial issues," says John Pickens, VeteransPlus Executive Director. "The customized platform provides VeteransPlus members with a clean, easy to use interface that integrates with the future direction of the Yellow Ribbon Network."
The launch of COMPASS is the start of a long-term relationship between Debt.com, VeteransPlus and several other national non-profits and partners of VeteransPlus like the Gary Sinise Foundation, Habitat for Humanity Veterans Build, PenFed Foundation and many others who are passionate about the welfare of our Veterans. Each of these organizations believes that our heroes deserve the world-class financial coaching and resources that support their financial well-being.
"We're honored that VeteransPlus selected Debt.com to provide the vital financial resources to the heroes that joined the Yellow Ribbon Network," says Don Silverstri, COO of Debt.com, "Studies show military and Veteran families are behind when it comes to financial literacy. Platforms like COMPASS and organizations like VeteransPlus can be critical for helping these families achieve the financial future they fought to defend."
COMPASS will become available at no cost to all military and Veteran families by going to www.yellowribboncompass.org beginning on Veterans Day, November 11, 2015.
