[1]Tatum Ridge Elementary School Visits Insignia Bank.
In recognition of Financial Literacy Month, Insignia Bank hosted its third annual visit from Tatum Ridge Elementary School.
Students from the third, fourth and fifth grades toured the Cattlemen Office getting a behind the scenes look at the banking process. A quick lesson in saving accounts and interest rates started the students thinking about what to do with their own money, and how a bank can help them grow their money faster.
“It was a fun time for both students and staff,” said Gary Houseworth, VP/Branch Manager of Insignia Bank’s Cattlemen Office. “Sharing what we do as bankers on an everyday basis and demonstrating how the ATM and cash counter works are always favorites with the kids.”
Insignia Bank is dedicated to starting financial literacy at an early age. Studies from the National Endowment for Financial Education have shown that financial education for children influences their behavior as adults. Those who have received financial literacy education in their youth are more likely to save, have lower credit card debt, and take better financial risks as adults.
