Financial Wellness: Our Passion at First National Bank and Trust Company

Financial Wellness Program

In 2017, First National Bank and Trust made the decision to invest time and resources into financial wellness in its local community and surrounding areas. It’s been one of our great joys to see the many lives impacted through this program. 

In the United States today, families are faced with critical financial decisions now more than ever. We serve as a resource to help families handle decisions concerning the economy, education and most importantly, personal finance with expertise. We are taking a long-term approach to solve financial pain while helping create a more financially savvy future generation.  

Classroom Programming

Money Mammals

De Witt County kindergarten classes are learning from the Money Mammals how to save, share and spend smart. This class includes a lesson and a piggy bank for the students to save at home.

Piggy Bank Pageant

De Witt County elementary classes participate in an annual Piggy Bank Pageant that teaches the students the power of saving. Students get to design their own personal piggy bank and compete for the best design. The winning designs will get a cash prize and start their savings.
