Capital City Bank Helps Teach Children To Save

Capital City Bank Helps Teach Children To Save In late April, associates of Capital City Bank taught students at local schools about the importance of saving money as part of National Teach Children To Save Day, a financial literacy program sponsored by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation. Capital City Associates joined thousands of bankers across the country who traded in their balance sheets for blackboards to help increase financial literacy among young people.

"Studies show that kids aren’t learning the skills they need to make smart financial decisions as adults," said Washington County President Roy Carter. "Communities and schools teach other life skills, such as driving a car, but we don’t spend enough time teaching financial skills. Capital City Bankers are visiting our schools to help fill that gap and prepare future clients for financial success." The presentations included games and activities about saving money, how interest makes money grow, how to budget and determining the difference between needs and wants.

Nearly 80 Capital City Bankers participated in National Teach Children To Save Day this year, reaching more than 3,600 children. Since the inception of National Teach Children To Save Day in 1997, thousands of bankers have taught money skills to more than one million students.
