About Bank at School
The Bank at School program is designed to teach students about economics and finance through the hands-on experience of opening and maintaining a savings account. Starting in September each year, bankers from Artisans' Bank make weekly visits to enrolled schools to accept deposits and help students learn about the world of banking. This practical experience helps students develop essential life skills to become informed consumers and responsible savers.
This program is a unique opportunity for students to begin learning fiscal responsibility, and we welcome all students (K-12) to participate. Participation in this program is completely voluntary. While deposits do not need to be made weekly, we certainly encourage all students to actively save.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any Artisans' Bank Banker at 302-658-6881 or www.ArtisansBank.com/more-ab/lets-talk/locations-and-hours, or if your school is interested in enrolling/expanding your Bank at School program, please contact the Bank's CRA Officer, Joel Schiller, at 302-884-6566 or jschiller@artisansbank.com.
