As U.S. credit card balances remain near historic highs and household budgets tighten, Debt.com has announced the nominees for its 2026 FinTalk Awards. The awards recognize financial content creators who are changing how Americans engage with personal finance, according to a press release from the Fort Lauderdale-based company.

This year’s nominees reflect a shift toward relatable, judgment-free financial education. Their content covers debt payoff plans, student loan management and household budgeting, translating complex financial concepts into everyday habits through short-form videos, long-form series and community outreach.

“Financial education only works when it is accessible, authentic, and immediately actionable,” said Don Silvestri, president of Debt.com. “These creators are reaching Americans directly on their phones and in their communities, making financial topics that can often feel intimidating easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to put into practice.”

Voting remains open through October 9, 2026. Hispanics across the country can vote for their favorite creators in the Best Spanish-Language Financial Content Creator category. The nominees are:

• Moneyaccion: Alex aims to simplify saving, investing and debt management, turning difficult-to-understand financial concepts into humorous, relatable and actionable content.
• Mamaperonoaburrida: Elizabeth Inciarte seeks to show that people do not have to be millionaires to start investing and building a solid financial future.
• Soymmvelasquez: María Mercedes Velasquez helps women over 40 take control of their money and invest with confidence. Her core message is that it is never too late to build financial freedom.
• Neurodany: Daniela Salazar, the author of two books, teaches audiences about investing, trading and personal finance through social media and in-person workshops.
• Xavier Serbia: With more than 20 years of experience, he has distinguished himself by explaining financial topics clearly, practically and accessibly for the Hispanic community.

Profiles for all nominees and voting are available through the Debt.com 2026 FinTalk Awards page.

Debt.com is a website offering help with credit card debt, student loans, tax debt, credit repair, bankruptcy and other financial issues.
