Bank On Mid-Michigan shows early success
LANSING, MI--Since February 1, fifty-three Lansing area residents have opened second chance checking accounts and over three hundred have attended free financial education classes as part of the new Bank On Mid-Michigan campaign.
The local Bank On campaign is designed to provide access to low-cost, high quality financial products and free financial education. Bank On is a joint effort of Asset Independence Coalition (AIC), Ingham County Treasurer's Office and the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) and is funded through a grant from the National Community Tax Coalition (NCTC).
"Access to low-cost, high quality financial products provides working families the ability to reach financial self-sufficiency. Bank On Mid-Michigan campaign partners are working to give Lansing area residents better access to these opportunities," said Ingham County Treasurer Eric Schertzing.
More information about second chance and low cost checking accounts and free financial education classes is available at www.bankonmidmichigan.org or by contacting Jonathon Bailey at 517-515-2407 or bankon.midmichigan@gmail.com.
