Financial Literacy Programs

Supporting Financial Literacy in Our Communities

As our culture and society continues to grow in complexity, so does the need to understand personal finances and financial management. Centier has worked closely with the Indiana Department of Education, Indiana Council for Economic Education, American Bankers Association, FDIC, Indiana Bankers Association, and the Federal Reserve to implement and develop educational programs to support financial literacy. These programs are designed to help children from kindergarten through high school, as well as adults and non-English speaking citizens.
