ABA Foundation Launches 2022 Financial Education Campaigns, Unveils Free Resources for Banks
The ABA on Tuesday launched its 2022 financial education campaigns, calling on America’s banks and their more than two million employees across the nation to participate in these important and effective industry-wide efforts to promote consumer financial readiness.
This year, the ABA Foundation will offer four specific initiatives that encourage banker volunteers to share important financial knowledge in their local communities. All of the Foundation programs are completely free to ABA member and non-member banks:
- Teach Children to Save
- Lights, Camera, Save! Video Contest
- Get Smart About Credit
- Safe Banking for Seniors
“The hardships we’ve faced as a nation the last two years have underscored the importance of financial knowledge and preparing for the unexpected,” said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. “These innovative educational programs allow financial institutions across the nation to make a meaningful difference in their local communities, and we strongly encourage bankers to participate.”
Curricula for Teach Children to Save, Get Smart About Credit and Safe Banking for Seniors are available in both English and Spanish. Bankers registered for ABA Foundation programs will receive turnkey resources, real-time customer support, ready-to-use promotional and communication materials. Again, there is no cost for banks that register to participate in any of the Foundation programs. Interested banks should register at aba.com/FinEd or call 1-800-BANKERS for more information.
