Company helps schools with financial literacy

SARATOGA COUNTY, N.Y. » Adirondack Trust Company stepped up to make partial or full remote learning in the wake of COVID-19 easier. Thanks to their sponsorship, over 3,560 students and teachers at 18 schools in Saratoga and Warren counties will have free access to Banzai.

Banzai is an award-winning online financial literacy program and content library of articles, calculators, and personalized coaches. All of these resources are available to students at home or in the classroom via any device that can access the internet.

Banzai content builds a foundation of practical knowledge and gives students the tools to create a sound financial future. While students learn, teachers can easily monitor and grade their progress remotely.

After finishing Banzai, students will know how to track where their money is and what it’s for, recognize financial tradeoffs, build a budget, and more. At a time when many are facing unprecedented financial challenges, these lessons are invaluable.

The Banzai resources are available at adirondacktrust.teachbanzai.com.

Since 2017, Adirondack Trust Company has worked with Banzai to build financial literacy in the Saratoga and Warren County communities by investing time, money, industry experience, and a variety of financial resources. Beyond the Banzai library, Adirondack Trust Company also offers virtual or in-classroom presentations from local experts on timely topics.
