Gainey Business Bank Creates Hands-On Financial Literacy Platform for Kids/Teens
Scottsdale Bank First in State to Provide New Platform

 
Due to the Financial Literacy crisis in America, millions of high school graduates enter the next phase of their lives completely unprepared for the vast number of financial decisions awaiting them. While some states do better than others, according to the latest National Report Card for Financial Literacy, Arizona is one that wants to do the right thing but just hasn’t fully implemented a plan to achieve complete success.

To help fill the gap of essential money management skills for future generations of consumers, Gainey Business Bank in Scottsdale, Arizona is now the first financial institution in the state to provide a free financial literacy platform for customers.

The Gainey Business Bank Earn & Learn app helps parents teach kids and teens essential money management skills, such as tracking chores, spending responsibly, donating to local non-profits, and even investing in stocks. The app comes with a personalized prepaid Visa® card for each child/teen, as well as educational platform designed to help enhance the important hands-on experience vital for kids experiencing and making real-life financial decisions.

“At Gainey Business Bank, we believe strong financial futures start with smart habits formed early,” said Rob Schwister, President and CEO. “This app isn’t just about teaching money management—it’s a fun, effective way for parents to motivate kids to complete chores, earn their own money, and spend responsibly.”

“Financial literacy shouldn’t start in adulthood—it should grow alongside children,” Schwister added. “This program reflects our commitment not just to our customers, but to the future of our communities. We couldn’t be more excited to offer it.”

The app is unique from other platforms in the market as kids learn how to manage their money through real-life opportunities to save†, donate† and spend the allowance earned through chores. They even get to learn to invest*. It’s the combination of “hands-on” experience, with parents as a safety net, that helps build healthy money habits as they grow up.

“As an Arizona business, it’s great to see a local financial institution step up to the plate to offer something significant in the fight to improve financial literacy in Arizona kids,” noted Gregg Murset, Certified Financial Planner and CEO of the popular Arizona-based financial literacy app BusyKid. “This practical, hands-on experience is the big difference for a child when it comes to learning how to manage money. I applaud Gainey Business Bank for being a leader in setting kids up for financial success in the future.”

The Gainey Business Bank Earn & Learn app is available in the Apple and Google stores. For more information, visit: www.gaineybusinessbank.com/earnlearn
