HONOLULU– Pearl Hawaii FCU reported it is offering the financial literacy resource, Banzai, to all residents of the island of Oahu.
Banzai is an interactive, online program that teaches personal finance education. It has become the largest program of its kind, servicing over 65,000 schoolteachers, as well as communities in all 50 states. Normally, this program is offered through schools. With information applicable to all ages and needs, Pearl Hawaii has decided to bring these financial resources and tools directly to parents, their children, and to the community at large, the credit union said.
“During these difficult times, it is important that individuals develop sound financial skills to prepare for and cope with life’s unexpected challenges,” said Daniel Terada, Pearl Hawaii’s CEO and President. “From our youth to our grandparents, Banzai is a financial literacy resource for all ages. This program enables everyone to have an opportunity to gain important financial skills and, ultimately, financial independence and freedom.”
