About this listen

In this episode of the Cashology Podcast, Chris Turner, FNBO's Community Reinvestment Act officer, joins us. Chris shares her extensive background in banking and her passion for teaching financial literacy, driven by her experiences as a mother and professional. She discusses the concerning state of financial literacy in the U.S., highlighting a statistic that two-thirds of American adults can't pass a basic financial literacy test and more.

Chris and Justin explore the importance of financial education starting at a young age, and discuss the proactive steps FNBO is taking to address this issue, including partnering with schools and organizations like Junior Achievement to teach real-life financial skills.
