myPFSA.org also maintains a directory of member business resources. These are simply businesses of Portuguese speaking members who provide their services to the public. Any member can submit their service to be listed here.

One of the services offered is Life Insurance. This is a complex life need which we find is best explained in the native language of the client. In order to assist our membership, we provide both tools to understand life insurance needs as well as various plans of our own. All are availble in both English and Portuguese.
