Financial Literacy Wrap Up

Banks that offered financial literacy outreach during the month of April are invited to contact IBA for inclusion in a press release to be distributed statewide. April is Financial Literacy Month nationwide — and also is ABA’s Teach Children to Save Month and ICBA’s Community Banking Month.

Financial literacy includes any form of reaching out to the community to help educate consumers about financial issues. Examples include presentations to youth/community groups, financial seminars for seniors, Junior Achievement involvement and leading school tours through the bank.
