Tampa, FL (May 15, 2025) |
GTE Financial is proud to announce the launch of Cash Academy, its new and improved financial education initiative designed to equip teens and young adults with the skills they need to build a strong financial future. This interactive, on-demand program is part of the credit union's ongoing commitment to support financial literacy in the Tampa Bay community.
Cash Academy guides parents and young adults through key financial concepts such as budgeting, understanding credit and debit, goal setting, and making smart saving and spending decisions. The program is easily accessible online and allows students to learn at their own pace in an engaging and practical format.
To encourage participation and celebrate the achievements of young learners, GTE Financial is offering a $50 reward to participants who complete the Cash Academy course and open a new Go Student Checking Account. In addition, students who complete the program are invited to share their personal stories about their financial journey for a chance to win a $2,090 graduation shopping spree in honor of their 90th anniversary celebration.
“Cash Academy is more than just a learning tool; it’s a way to spark real conversations and confidence around money,” said Jennifer Maxfield, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at GTE Financial. “We believe that by providing youth with accessible and meaningful financial education, we’re setting them up for lifelong success and empowering the next generation of smart, informed consumers.”
By launching Cash Academy, GTE Financial reinforces its mission to provide the tools and support young people need to succeed financially. This program not only introduces foundational money management skills but also fosters a culture of responsible banking habits from an early age.
