BBB Military Line is a program that was established in 2004 as a unique program for our military. The goal is to bring education and BBB Service to military consumers and their families.

Military personnel are frequently victims of unethical and unscrupulous business practices because service member’s steady paycheck backed by the US government is enticing for crooks. BBB Military Line works to bring financial literacy to those who are serving or have served us. The program encourages use of BBB consumer education materials, business reviews, charity reviews, and complaint and dispute resolution services.

BBB Military Line offers an array of interactive and engaging financial workshops that are taught by local BBB staff members.

Workshops include:

Deals for Wheels

How to Buy a Home

Investing for Retirement

Investing in Higher Education

Scams and ID Theft

The Smart Consumer

The BBB encourages all military to sign up for the BBB Trusted Scout e-newsletter for military consumer issues and to stay current on scams targeting the military at bbbmarketplacetrust.org.
