Pasco County Tax Collector's Office Teams up with Fifth Third Bank to Host the Fifth Third Financial Empowerment Mobile

The Fifth Third Bank Financial Empowerment Mobile, the eBus, will be stopping by the Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office located at 4720 US Highway 19 in New Port Richey on Monday, November 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and will be open to the community.

The 40-foot bus, retro-fitted as a mobile classroom, is equipped with 14 personal computers and satellite technology. It is staffed by Fifth Third bankers. Representatives from the Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office will be in the tax collector’s office to answer tax-related questions. Once onboard, visitors will be able to:

· Request a credit report and review it with a professional

· Receive personalized evaluation of finances

· Receive Internet Banking and Bill Payment demonstrations*

· Conduct online job searches

“We are committed to empowering our community through financial education, said Keith Bell, Community and Economic Development Manager for Fifth Third Bank (North Florida). “The eBus allows us to serve people where they live and work, and provide the knowledge and tools to help take control of their financial futures.”

“We welcome anyone in the community to come by and take advantage of this community service provided by Fifth Third Bank,” states Pasco Tax Collector Mike Fasano. “Financial literacy is extremely important in this day and age. I encourage any member of the community who would like to learn more about their own credit history, personal finances and related matters to speak with the professionals from Fifth Third Bank.”
