St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union has hopes that area tweens setting sail for Money Island will find the greatest buried treasure–becoming more financially savvy.
The St. Helens, Ore.-based credit union has partnered with BancVue to unveil Money Island, an online game for kids ages 8 to 14 that focuses on three key financial areas: saving and spending, earning and investing, and using credit wisely.
"We're one of the first credit unions to offer Money Island, and now particularly with the many budget cuts faced by school districts, it feels great to be able to provide this free unique and fun educational resource," said Diana Huff, assistant vice president of marketing at St. Helens Community FCU. "It's also a good way to stand out in the community as a true partner and help build deeper relationships with not only younger members but their parents as well."
