Tennessee Financial Literacy Week, sponsored by the Tennessee Bankers Association, promotes financial literacy among all age groups and the need to educate Tennesseans about the importance of personal financial wellness for the state’s future prosperity. During the week of April 1-5, banks from across the state will take part to help build and support financially literate citizens.

“Bankers view financial literacy initiatives as a top civic priority, and we’re proud of their efforts to educate their local communities,” said Colin Barrett, president of the Tennessee Bankers Association. “Early introduction and continued exposure to financial education can yield lifelong benefits for every Tennessean.”

Stop by your local branch for information on avoiding scams, credit reports and reporting, and how to become money smart. Follow us on Facebook for more great tips throughout the month of April. For more information about Tennessee Financial Literacy Week, visit TNBankers.org/finlitweek.
