PSECU Celebrates Financial Literacy Month with Initiative Series
Information provided by PSECU
PSECU, Pennsylvania’s award-winning credit union, is proud to announce a series of initiatives in April to promote Financial Literacy Month, reflecting its long-standing commitment to financial education and accessibility. PSECU’s month-long lineup includes various activities aimed at different age groups and interests, with a special emphasis on empowering Pennsylvania’s youth.
PSECU is taking part in Money Smart Mondays—a weekly talk radio segment designed to enhance financial literacy throughout the state. Every Monday starting April 8, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Auditor General, Tim DeFoor, experts from PSECU will tackle essential financial topics such as Budgeting Tips, Youth and Young Adult Accounts and Savings, Fraud and Scams for Senior Adults, and Credit Scores and Budgeting for Graduation. To tune into these discussions, please visit the Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General’s YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
“Financial literacy is more than understanding money – it’s about making informed decisions that lead to financial well-being and independence,” said PSECU Director of Membership Development & Sales Wyatt Troxell. “Our commitment to financial education, especially among our youth, reflects our belief that financial health is a cornerstone of a prosperous community.”
The credit union’s ongoing partnership with Junior Achievement of Pennsylvania, a volunteer-led delivery organization for work readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship, and its role in community engagement initiatives underscores PSECU’s dedication to fostering financial skills across all ages.
PSECU’s efforts are supported by DeFoor, who highlights the importance of financial literacy within the state. “Being money smart means you know where your money is going, you know how government is spending it and you know how to save for the future,” Pennsylvania Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor said. “Through this partnership with PSECU, we’re making sure Pennsylvanians of all ages have the resources needed to manage and protect their money. By working together, we can make our commonwealth stronger and more financially secure.”
Alongside recognizing April as Financial Literacy Month, PSECU is also celebrating National Credit Union Youth Month by launching a special promotion to foster savings habits. For the month of April, PSECU will match the first deposit into any new youth savings account up to $25. For more details on this promotion and how to participate, visit psecu.com/youth.
