RADCLIFF, Ky.— Abound Credit Union, which recently changed its name from Fort Knox, said it worked closely with Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) to launch the EverFi Achieve platform, a mobile-first financial education solution designed to help young adults build healthier financial futures, for college freshmen in March.
Amber Phillips, First Year Experience (FYE) Program Facilitator at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, and Breanna Harris, FYE Instructor & Program Coordinator at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, were instrumental in making this launch happen, ensuring that ECTC was able to make it part of their transition to Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) during the early stages of the pandemic.
“At Abound Credit Union, we firmly believe that knowledge leads to opportunity,” says Becky Ates, EVP of Abound Credit Union. “That’s why we’re committed to sharing our financial strength and knowledge so that more hard-working Kentuckians can build healthier financial futures. It’s been a privilege to partner with ECTC on this initiative.”
In addition to the financial education and training provided for college freshmen, Abound Credit Union offers free online learning tools and programs for consumers of all ages.
