As teens complete modules, they accumulate points redeemablefor gift cards.

“Growing up, we didn’t have good experiences learning about personal finance,” Bolun Li, CEO and co-founder of Zogo said. “With Zogo, we wanted to create a financial education experience our peers would actually use. We are excited to partner with community focused financial institutions to bring this vision to life.”

Among the financial institutions implementing the app are nine credit unions: CommunityWide Federal Credit Union ($451 million, South Bend, Ind.), Pyramid Federal Credit Union ($168 million, Tucson, Ariz.), MassMutual Federal Credit Union ($251 million, Springfield, Mass.)

Poulter added recent SymExchange integrations offered include the ability to 0provide interactive email updates via MVi’s Wacom Sig Pad integrations, as well as updating members driver’s license information through its Hotkey program. Additionally, MVi offers a complete Pre-Scan Teller Check 21 Solution allowing member checks to be scanned and checked for fraud, if desired, and then directly uploaded into the Episys Quest Teller platform, saving the teller from hand-keying in the checks.

“There are also many more integrations currently in place and in development for the future including the ability to leverage the Episys Database within the built-in Laserfiche forms applications platform,” Poulter added.
