Since 1992, Operation HOPE has been moving America from civil rights to “silver rights” with the mission of making free enterprise and capitalism work for the underserved, disrupting poverty for millions of low and moderate-income youth and adults across the nation. Through its community uplift model, HOPE Inside, which received the 2016 “Innovator of the Year” recognition by American Banker magazine, Operation HOPE has served millions of individuals and directed billions in economic activity into disenfranchised communities, turning check-cashing customers into banking customers, renters into homeowners, small business dreamers into small business owners, minimum wage workers into living wage consumers, and uncertain disaster victims into financially empowered disaster survivors.
Honoring our legacy, we continue to strive to find new and innovative ways to promote financial literacy for all, drive new business formation and growth, and influence policy that will help achieve financial equity. HOPE continues to grow its coaching footprint across America in both physical locations and through virtual program offerings. We look forward to expanding the reach of our services using new and engaging technologies so that all people have convenient access to financial literacy.
Operation HOPE recently completed a SOC 2® Type 2 examination and received a SOC 2® report covering controls relevant to security.

In this candid clip, our Chairman & CEO, @johnhopebryant shares a reminder from his wife to remember, sometimes, making a real impact means slowing down, simplifying, and coming back to the basics. When it comes to credit cards, too many people are shocked when they swipe first... and realize later they actually have to pay it back - with interest! 📉 Interest adds up. 📈 Knowledge pays off. Let’s make financial literacy clear, not complicated. #FinancialLiteracy #MoneyTalks #FinancialLiteracyForAll #MoneyTok

You don’t need thousands of dollars to start investing. You need a starting point. @_girllockin began with small Roth IRA contributions and focused on building the habit first.

Getting approved doesn’t always mean you can afford it. A low credit score can turn the car you want into years of high-interest payments, making the lender more money while leaving less in your pocket. Before signing, understand the interest rate, the total cost of the loan and what the payment will do to your budget. #CreditScore #CreditEducation #MoneyManagement

Your income matters, but what you do with it matters, too. The goal isn’t just to earn more. It’s to build habits that help you keep and grow more of what you earn. #FinancialWellness #MoneyHabits #FinancialLiteracy
