Citizens Bank to Provide Over $1 Million to Support Financial Literacy

Citizens Helping Citizens Manage Money

Learning how to manage money is the first step individuals can take toward achieving their financial goals. Citizens Helping Citizens Manage Money is our program for helping people do that while also driving awareness about the need for financial literacy. This year, we are working with nonprofit organizations in your community and others to provide more than $1 million in support of financial literacy programming and colleague volunteerism throughout 2015.

Financial Literacy: Get Fin Lit Fit
During National Financial Literacy Month in April, we are helping people Get Fin Lit Fit.
