This year, we introduced an exciting new incentive for our 1st graders! Our Financial Champions opened their doors for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the world of banking to over 800 students! From touring the vaults to learning how banks work, our students got a real taste of the "grown-up" world. The highlight? Every student stepped into the role of a customer and made a real-life deposit into their very own KickStart to Career account!
