Charleston, WV – November 1, 2021 – Dr. Jacob Tenney, UC Director of Financial Planning and Financial Literacy, is featured on walletthub.com in an article on starter credit cards. Tenney offers his views as one of the site’s featured ‘Ask the Experts’ contributors.

Tenney provides insightful information on when to get a starter credit card, a little about their use, and who should apply for one.

He also includes some strong words of caution: “Individuals should think of credit cards as an extension of their checking account and only use them if they have the money in their account to pay them off. Credit cards are great to build credit but only if they are used wisely.”
