Why Chase Launched Currency Conversations
Black Women And Personal Finance: Chase understood that mainstream financial campaigns often failed to speak directly—and meaningfully—to Black women. Yet Black women represent one of the most powerful and influential consumer demographics in America.
To foster deeper relationships and build financial trust, Chase launched Currency Conversations, a national, culturally relevant campaign designed to engage Black women in intimate, empowering conversations about money.
How TheMoneyCoach.net Helped Build Financial Trust
To lead the charge, Chase partnered with Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, a nationally recognized financial expert and trusted voice in the Black community. TheMoneyCoach.net brought credibility, relatability, and strategy to the campaign’s rollout.
The Currency Conversations initiative included:
- Live, in-person events in cities like Atlanta, New York, and Washington, D.C.
- Candid conversations on debt, saving, credit, and wealth-building
- Partnerships with Black-owned vendors, from caterers to florists
- Social and media content that amplified each event’s reach
These were not formal panels or dry seminars. They were heartfelt, engaging experiences filled with laughter, reflection, and actionable financial guidance.
Creating Safe Spaces—and Broad Reach
The Currency Conversations events drew hundreds of attendees per city, many of whom were millennial women, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers alike. What united them was a shared need for:
- Safe spaces to talk about financial fears and dreams
- Practical guidance on building wealth
- Representation—seeing themselves in the voices leading the conversation
Each event featured Lynnette along with other high-profile Black women in finance, lifestyle, and leadership, reinforcing trust and relatability.
Logical Impact and Long-Term Influence
While Chase published no official figures, the Currency Conversations campaign was a visible success:
- Packed venues in every city
- Strong social media amplification
- Earned media coverage and post-event engagement
- Continued interest from participants and communities
The ripple effect was clear: Black women felt seen, heard, and empowered, and Chase solidified itself as a bank willing to do things differently.
A Blueprint for Inclusive Financial Education
Currency Conversations wasn’t a one-off event—it became part of Chase’s broader DEI and community strategy under an umbrella initiative called Advancing Black Pathways. TheMoneyCoach.net played a vital role in shaping its tone, reach, and real-world value.
By investing in the power of real conversations—and real representation—Chase broke through the noise and delivered a campaign that still resonates years later.
