It’s Never Too Late to Start Your Financial Journey

A little financial education can go a long way to help your employees manage their money and plan for the future. In the infographic below, we lay out some startling facts like how daycare expenses are driving families into debt and that the annual total of dollars lost to fraud is in the 8 figures.

Imagine the stress that money issues like those might cause, and what that stress can do to employee productivity.

It doesn’t have to be that way. We hope you’ll take advantage of all the great, free resources we offer through our First@Work program (onsite and online seminars, online budgeting tools, and more) to empower your employees and get them on the road to financial wellness.

Find the Best Bank for a Student Checking Account Student checking accounts are a great way for college students to get their finances in order and prepare for the future. But finding the right checking account at the best bank takes some research. Deciding which bank offers the best student checking account comes down to finding one that offers the best benefits and features. Use this guide to determine what features are important to you, then learn how to open a student checking account online today. Guide to Choosing a Student Checking Account When comparing student bank accounts, the Simple Dollar suggests making these four factors top priority: Fees — Checking accounts often have monthly fees, but a lot of banks offer accounts without them. As a college student, you shouldn’t have to worry about wasting your money on monthly maintenance fees. When choosing a checking account, go for the bank that offers no monthly fees for students. Location — When it comes to student banking, location is important. You probably don’t want to travel too far off campus to find an ATM or local branch, so look for banks with locations near you. If you like a bank, but their ATMs are located too far away, ask about their fees on out-of-network ATM transactions. A lot of banks will allow you to make a certain number of ATM transactions per month, fee free. But be careful, although your bank might not charge you a fee, the ATM itself could. Linked savings account — College is a great time to start putting money away for your future. When choosing a bank to open a student checking account, consider a bank that offers a linked savings account. With a linked account you will be able to transfer money easily between accounts, allowing you to save as much or as little as you want each month, and withdraw from your savings whenever you want. Perks — Any good student bank account should come with perks. Decide what features and benefits are important to you, such as mobile banking, mobile check deposit and online bill pay, then look for a bank that offers those perks.
