Union Bank and Credit Gal: Educating in Financial Literacy

Union Bank and The Credit Gal emphasize the importance of financial literacy, especially at a young age. Both Credit Gal and Union Bank have programs that promote financial literacy for our youth.

“Union Bank is a huge sponsor of Junior Achievement [a non-profit organization that brings students hands-on, real world curriculum] and offers to visit schools and camps to educate kids about financing,” said Reaves.

Credit Gal works with Financial Education Services in a similar program. Their collaboration forms the Youth Financial Literacy Foundation.

“We educate kids from eight to eighteen on personal finance,” said Nokes. “It’s an in-home program. It’s a workbook. After eight weeks, we give them a certificate, a pizza party, and $500 per class.”

There are unique ways to rebuild credit. Nokes, Reaves, and Bui all agree that one way to rebuild positive credit is by using a secured credit card. You put up money for that line of credit, and that money becomes a limit. It’s kind of like a savings account. You put money into it, and then you spend money. However, the secured credit card not attached to a checking account or a debit card. You can spend money, but you need to pay the bill every month.

“My Credit Gal advice is this: To have the best credit score, you need to pay that off every month, or you need to pay it down at least 30% of the limit,” said Nokes.
