Teach Financial Literacy

Our online simulation provides real-world scenarios to help promote healthy spending habits. 
































1. Top grades include any grade of an “A” (A+, A-, A). Top grades should be noted on report card, such as “E” for excellent or any other grade/number as indicated on the report card. Bonus is paid once per main school subject per grading period. If no final grade is given for a main category, grades will be averaged from subcategories to determine final grade.
2. Once the primary account owner reaches the age of 23, age can no longer be used to avoid the monthly service fee. Customers under the age of 18 must have an adult co-owner.
