Written by Giuseppe Garcia-Salamone | May 31, 2023 6:27:32 PM

The harsh reality is that nearly half (48%) of LGBTQ+ Americans have experienced discrimination within the financial services industry. This discrimination has contributed to a lack of financial security within our community​1​. As a co-founder at Tentho, I am proud to stand against this bias and offer inclusive financial services to the LGBTQ+ community.
