March is a month dedicated to fostering a love of reading, and there’s no better time for us at First Service Bank to release our brand-new Franklin & Sammy Cents book! We’re thrilled to announce that this exciting story—designed to teach kids about saving and financial responsibility—officially launched this week during Read Across America Week.
Bringing Financial Literacy to Local Schools 📚
Throughout March, our team will be visiting schools in all the markets we serve, reading the Franklin & Sammy Cents book to first graders and sharing free copies with each of them. By immersing students in a fun and engaging story, we aim to spark curiosity and encourage children to start building healthy financial habits from an early age.
Introducing the Franklin & Sammy Cents Account 🏦
Learning doesn’t have to stop when the last page is turned! For a more hands-on experience, the Franklin & Sammy Cents book is paired with our children’s savings account. Here’s how it helps kids learn the value of saving:
- Low Opening Deposit: Start with just $5.
- No Monthly Fees: Your child can watch their savings grow without hidden costs.
- Accrues Interest: Enjoy real-world earning potential as the balance increases.
- Smooth Transition at 18: At age 18, the account converts into a Saver account, ensuring ongoing financial growth.
- Fun Prizes: When you open an account or make a deposit, you’ll receive a prize 🐷—a fun way to start saving and watch your money grow!
Why We’re Passionate About This Initiative 💙
At First Service Bank, we believe in setting the stage for a secure financial future. By making finances relatable and exciting, children are more likely to become responsible savers and confident money managers as they grow older. Read Across America Week provides a perfect backdrop for this effort—combining a national focus on reading with our mission to educate and empower young minds.
