Financial Literacy
EverFi
The West Virginia Bankers Association has partnered with EverFi, Inc., a Washington, D.C. based education Technology Company, to bring an interactive personal finance website to students in your area. WVBA members have the unique opportunity to sponsor local schools and private-label the program in their bank’s name at a reduced cost. EverFi will work directly with you to launch the program and gain local media attention through student certification ceremonies.
The platform has been received with enthusiasm from schools, students and families throughout the country and is a channel connecting banks to their communities. In addition to fostering and maintaining these valuable relationships, the program serves to increase bank visibility, demonstrate community reinvestment and link with potential customers in an exclusive way.

ABA Financial Literacy
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. Teaching children and young adults basic money lessons – how to save, budget, and use credit wisely – is one of the best ways to prepare them for their financial future. Bankers are experts at money management, so it's a natural fit for them to be involved in financial education efforts.
