During the awards, Latin superstar Prince Royce will spotlight the initiative and discuss the importance of creative and financial freedom for the Latino community. Plus, Prince Royce is nominated for three 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards including Tropical Artist of the Year, Tropical Song of the Year, and Tropical Album of the Year.

As part of Experian’s mission to bring Financial Power to All™, Experian is helping more than 5,000 Hispanics across the country by relieving a debt and providing Experian resources to empower and help them achieve financial health.

Recipients of the debt relief initiative will also receive a free premium Experian membership for one year, which provides access to their Experian credit report in both English and Spanishⁱ, their FICO® Scoreⁱⁱ, bilingual educational content, and other financial resources that could save members time and money, including:

Experian Boost®ⁱⁱⁱ: This is a feature that allows people to contribute positive payment history for eligible bills such as rent and utilities directly to their Experian credit file, which can potentially increase their FICO® Score^iv.
Experian Go: For those with limited or no credit history, this program allows people to enter the credit system by directly creating an Experian credit report and populating it with payment history.
Insurance Marketplace: Consumers can comparison shop for auto, home, and renter’s insurance to potentially find better rates. Switching policies with Experian could save consumers more than $1,100^v on an auto and home insurance policy bundle, or more than $800^vi on an automotive insurance policy alone.
Subscription Cancellation^vii: Experian can take the pain out of canceling unwanted subscriptions by handling the process for consumers, potentially putting money back in their pocket.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Prince Royce to champion financial literacy and be a part of a relevant event that celebrates talented Hispanic artists,” said Dacy Yee, Chief Marketing Officer for Experian Consumer Services. “Our top priority is empowering all communities with impactful support and valuable financial information to help them achieve financial freedom. We hope that this initiative shows that there are resources available to help everyone take control of their financial futures with Experian as their financial co-pilot.”
