Site Terms

Financial security can quite vexing. We created the My Name is COUNTRY blog to offer a chance to discuss, learn, and maybe even debate just about anything related to financial security.

This blog has enabled comments because we love a good discussion. That is, we love respectful, polite discussion. In order to keep things on the up and up, we have a few things we ask.

Things you should do:

  • Share your perspective on the issues raised and stories told by our bloggers and other commenters.
  • Engage other commenters for lively discussion.
  • Keep it clean. Seriously, this is a family friendly site, so there’s no need to use language your mom would shake her head at.

Things you shouldn’t do:

  • Raise customer service issues or company grievances. COUNTRY Financial has a fantastic staff of customer service reps dedicated for helping you out.  Head over to the COUNTRY Financial support site if you need help.
  • Be blatantly self-promotional. Feel free to have honest discussion that includes your own business, but pitching your services is not cool.  All comments are moderated, with a member of the COUNTRY Financial staff reviewing every comment before it goes live.

All comments are moderated before they go live. Your comment will go live shortly assuming it adheres to our comment policy.  A comment which does not add to the conversation, or contains spam, personal information, hate speech, or any other form of inappropriate content may be deleted.  We will not delete comments based on opinions. We may not agree, but we’re not at all opposed to hearing your thoughts.

We do not endorse or verify the accuracy of any comments posted or transmitted.
