The 8-week program, run by Bergen County based iPiggiBank teaches students the fundamentals of money management through an interactive curriculum taught by a certified teacher that uses art, writing, literacy and play to reinforce healthy financial habits.
“As a community mutual bank, we place a strong emphasis on social responsibility” said Robert Rey, President and CEO of the Englewood based NVE. “We’ve been in the community for 131 years, are deeply connected to the citizens of Bergen County and dedicated to making a difference where we can. When we became aware of Bergen Family Center’s desire to launch a financial literacy program for kids, we embraced the opportunity to become involved. It’s a perfect fit for NVE”.
