NBT Bank Branch Manager Grace Welch (center row, second from right) and NBT Bank Teller Supervisor Zach Beck (back center) are pictured with Strive Financial Literacy program participants at American Civic Association.<\/p><\/div>\n

The American Civic Association in Binghamton has teamed up with NBT Bank to provide local immigrants with the tools to build a better future here in America. These adults received\u00a0free classes from NBT Bank representatives recently to learn basic money management and how to use a checking account.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s never too late to learn and improve money management skills,\u201d said\u00a0Grace Welch, branch manager at NBT Bank of Vestal, adding, \u201cThese adults are preparing to find their first jobs in America, receiving their first paychecks and confronting the challenges associated with managing money in the U.S. \u2013 some for the first time. We\u2019re very proud to have a chance to guide them through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe individuals we support\u00a0are truly the ideal audience for NBT\u2019s Strive program. They are learning a whole new culture, while facing some very difficult life situations. The financial learning they are receiving is a critical part of the necessary life skills they need right now and we\u2019re very grateful to NBT for their assistance in providing the information,\u201d said Mayra Garcia, director of the American Civic Association in Binghamton.<\/p>\n

Because developing smart financial habits helps build a brighter financial future, NBT Bank created its Strive\u00ae<\/sup> financial literacy program in 2012. Strive is a year-round program that helps kids, teens and adults establish a positive relationship with money early in life, and navigate personal finance as their financial needs mature. NBT Bank has conducted more than 300 classroom presentations in school districts and community groups across its six-state footprint.
