5/3 Bank to offer financial education to high school students

53logoCINCINNATI, Oh. — Fifth Third Bancorp and EverFi recently announced a multi-year contract that will enable Fifth Third to offer financial education and entrepreneurship classes to high school students located within the 10 states where the Bank operates retail branches.

EverFi powers financial education in a national education network of K-12 public schools, colleges, and universities, and in community-based organizations committed to equipping millions of students annually with the knowledge and skills they need to make important financial decisions.

The EverFi contract will allow Fifth Third to deliver financial education to 150,000 high school students annually.

Financial education for teens is deeply connected to Fifth Third Bank’s recent commitment to invest $30 billion in the communities it serves, including Batesville, Greensburg, and Milan.
