Boost financial capability in your community

The Financial Capability Department is comprised of PreK to college educators, and industry educators who provide direct community impact through financial well-being, capability, and education initiatives. Supporting our community, we work with state and national financial education organizations, K- college systems, and local community organizations.  We also train team members to provide impactful learning opportunities for students, community organizations and Select Employer Groups (SEGs).

Financial capability education must be:

  • Customizable – it must be helpful and relevant to people in a variety of financial situations
  • Appropriate – it must be mindful of various characteristics, including age, culture, and environmental factors
  • Impactful – it must empower people to make a difference and take positive steps towards a bright financial future
