So You Graduated High School...
Now What?
The Need for Financial Education
The financial world has become exceedingly complex and it is not possible to successfully navigate without being financially literate. Sadly, “the vast majority of Americans do not have the financial knowledge they need to fully participate in the economy or to make informed decisions about their own financial futures.
This reality has implications for their lives and for the economic health of the country,” reported Dr. Annamaria Lusardi, in testimony before the Subcommittee on Children and Families of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Dr. Lusardi, a world renowned expert on the economic importance of financial literacy, is Academic Director of the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center at The George Washington School of Business and the Denit Trust Distinguished Scholar and Professor of Economics and Accountancy.
It is the goal of Artisans' Bank to help change this reality.

Recruitment / Hiring Scams
Found a job that seems too good to be true? Someone is probably scamming you!
- 46% of 18-34 year olds reported facing employment scams
- 95% of job email scams are directed at college students
- $68 Million was lost by students due to fake businesses and job scams
Protect yourself and your money or it can be a real shady real.
- Legitimate employers never make you pay for the promise of a job offer.
- Always do your research - look up the company and any complaints
- Don't share personal information online. Scammers try to steal your identity and your money.
- Never cash a check before you have done any work. It is likely a fake check scam, it will bounce and you will end up paying for it.
- Double check job opportunities sent from your school career center. Fraudsters often disguise scams as "secret shopper" jobs.
ALWAYS Report Employment Scams
