MANASQUAN, N.J., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Much has been said about financial literacy, or the lack of it, among many Americans. Alan Chokov regrettably found that all that talk is grounded in reality, rather than hype. But Chokov says that's not necessarily the consumer's fault.

With numerous seminars, educational forums, printed literature and countless preaching of financial literacy being marketed, typically it's about a particular industry or product, leaving an empty interpretation of what more is available to the consumer to learn.

Chokov says too much of what passes for financial literacy may consist of how to secure credit cards, open a savings account or how to balance your checkbook. That spurred him to create efinanceportal.com for financial and business information.

It allows professionals the portal calls Contributing Providers to submit content to efinanceportal.com, featuring 14 industries and point of interest venues, with internal Search Engine capabilities in their language of preference.

The Contributing Providers submit their opinions, expertise and offer relevant services and products. The portal, which is free to use, provides a comparison of data based on 50,000 categories that are most likely to be searched, all based on a single destination platform.
