The news may be changing every minute, but we at HighPoint remain steady and focused on your financial wellbeing. As a rapidly evolving response to the Coronavirus outbreak, massive programs have been put in place across the globe by various governments and agencies to help contain the situation and attempt to provide a path to physical and financial recovery.
