Ethan Pierce, the son of Bread Financial associate Karah Bentley, is one of the many reasons why we proudly support Nationwide Children's Hospital. Ethan, born 12 weeks early with cardiac complications, spent time at NCH while he was being treated. For the first few years of his life, he continued his visits at NCH for follow-up appointments and check-ins with his cardiology team. 14 years later, a healthy and thriving Ethan will serve as a Mile Champion at the Bread Financial-sponsored seven-mile marker at the upcoming Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon. “The hospital saved Ethan’s life and allowed him to be a normal, healthy boy. It means a lot to me personally to see how Bread Financial’s relationship with NCH has grown over the years,” Karah said. “This marathon will be particularly memorable as we honor Ethan and support an important cause alongside my family, friends and colleagues.” Learn more about Ethan’s story by visiting https://lnkd.in/eejYCvzS. #LifeatBreadFinancial #ColumbusMarathon #NationwideKids

It’s #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, a day to spotlight girls’ vision for the future. ?? In a recent Consumer Insights survey, we, along with our friends at Ruling Our eXperiences, Inc. (ROX), set out to understand the financial acumen and confidence among Gen Z women (ages 18-27), including decision-making and planning for the future — as well as how they learned, or are learning, about money management. Overall, about two-thirds of Gen Z women are confident in their money management skills and feel that they’re on the “right track” financially. This is buoyed by the fact that most (79%) indicate they have a desire to learn about money management.

I recently visited Bread Financial’s India office for the second time with members of my leadership team. It was fantastic to return and meet with so many great leaders and associates while celebrating the company’s growth in the region. During our Town Hall, I had the opportunity to congratulate associates for performance achievements, recognize recent promotions and discuss exciting business updates. I am immensely proud of the India team and the critical role they play in driving our success. Having the opportunity to express those sentiments in person was particularly meaningful. Outside of work, we enjoyed experiencing Indian culture, which values celebrations and sharing. A special highlight was Sports Day, where we enjoyed spirited competition and played a fun game of cricket. This trip left me inspired and extremely grateful for the incredible culture we have created together at Bread Financial. Thank you again to Bhuvaneshwar Guheshwaraiah and the entire team in India for the wonderful hospitality and for making this trip so memorable.
