Randolph,

This week, millions of Americans began receiving federal stimulus payments to help offset the economic damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic. If you've received one, I sincerely hope it helps you and your family cope with the financial effects of this unprecedented crisis.

No one could've expected or adequately prepared for an upheaval of this magnitude. In a matter of months, it's completely changed how we interact with neighbors, friends and family; how we work and play; and how we manage our finances.

Here's what I want you to know as we all navigate this difficult time: LendingTree is here for you.

Our teams have worked tenaciously to provide our customers with useful information, tools and resources to help manage their money during this crisis. That includes creating a comprehensive resource hub, where you'll find links to articles, guides and websites offering tips on how to handle your mortgage, student loans, small business and other financial concerns.

While our hope is that people would band together in times like these, we know scammers are using the economic uncertainty to take advantage of people. These resources will help you stay savvy so you don't become the victim of a financial scam.

You can also turn to My LendingTree, our free financial health platform. It lets you monitor your credit score, find the best deals on loans and explore opportunities to save money. It now includes free identity monitoring, which can go a long way to safeguarding your financial health in tough times. Learn more about identity monitoring here.

Most importantly, I hope you and those you love remain healthy and safe. As we closely monitor COVID-19's effects worldwide, medical experts continue to recommend we practice social distancing to slow the spread of the virus. As difficult as this may be, please do your part to curb the outbreak, knowing that together, we'll make it through this.
