Banking

Personal banking can feel overwhelming without the right knowledge and support. At Breadwinners Academy, we ensure that students develop financial confidence by establishing strong relationships with trusted banking partners. Through our collaborations with Erie Bank and Bank of America, we provide youth-friendly banking options designed to help students open and manage their own accounts with ease.

A solid banking foundation is key to financial success. Banks and credit unions not only safeguard money but also offer essential financial tools—from checking and savings accounts to loans—that empower individuals to make informed financial decisions. Our program helps students navigate the banking world, ensuring they are prepared to manage money wisely and build responsible financial habits.
