Financial Education

The need for financial education is greater than ever, and recognition of this fact continues to gain public attention at the local, state and national levels. Bankers are experts at money management, so it's a natural fit for our industry to be involved in consumer education programs. Bankers are taking the lead in communities nationwide with financial literacy programs aimed at small children, high school students, adults, senior citizens and persons with limited access to financial services, including recent immigrants and low-to moderate income residents.

The OBA Education Foundation supports the following financial literacy initiatives, resources and organizations:

• ​Financial Beginnings 
• Financial Education Resource Guide  
• Get Smart About Credit Day 
• Teach Children to Save Day  
• Money Smart Week 
• Oregon Jump$tart Coalition
