The Fifth Third Bank Financial Empowerment Mobile, known as the eBus, will be in Hillsboro this week and it is open to the community.

The eBus will be at Highland District Hospital from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 29.

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 and representatives from non-profit community organizations. 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; speak with non-profit organizations regarding housing, money management and business advice; receive consultation on foreclosure prevention; and conduct online job searches.

“We are committed to empowering our community through financial education, said Jordan Miller, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank of Central Ohio.

“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.”
