Why Connect Financial Education and
Savings Accounts?
• Academic achievement – educational savings
account ownership is associated with higher
scores on math achievement tests
• Improved college aspirations – children with
< $500 in savings for college are 3X more likely to
attend and 4X more likely to graduate from
college
• Financial health - students with a savings account
7 years later were 2X more likely to have a
savings account and 4X more likely to own stocks
3
Existing School-Based Financial Education and
Savings Account Programs
• Offered in a school setting
• Typically involve savings matches and/or other incentives
• Restricted accounts, to be used for higher ed

Amarillo In-School Banking Take-Up
• 38% overall participation
• Same or higher take-up in schools with more
economically disadvantaged students
10
Amarillo Teacher Feedback
Students’ Level of Understanding:
• Items discussed in lessons should take into
consideration students’ income levels
Kids’ Bank:
• Nearly all positive feedback from teachers
• Students excited about saving & Kids’ Bank
participation brought concepts taught to life
11
Insights and Successful Practices to Operating
an In-school Banking Program
• Present banking program and financial education curriculum
to students and parents as one program
• Have school district market in-school banking program to
students
• Offer accounts that meet the needs of all families
12
Overall Results
• Large effects of education on knowledge questions
– Financial education appears to produce a large
improvement in financial knowledge—an increase
in the number of correct questions between 1.8
and 2.0
– No evidence that having a bank branch in the
school has an added effect on learning
• Moderate effects of in-school banking and education
on attitudes about financial institutions and saving
13
13
Overall Results
• Behavior - Financial education and bank access
boost bank account ownership by kids
– Financial education increases the number of
banked students by about 3.5%
– $25 incentive causes about an 18.1% marginal
increase in students opening accounts
• Effects persist … at least for a year

implementation
• Advance policies that support statewide program (e.g. define accounts in
statute, etc.)

Recommendations:
 Don’t give your account number to anyone on the phone unless you’ve made the call to a
company you know to be reputable. If you’ve never done business with them before, do an online
search first for reviews or complaints.
 Carry your cards separately from your wallet. It can minimize your losses if someone steals your
wallet or purse. Carry only the card you need for that outing.
 During a transaction, keep your eye on your card. Make sure you get your card back before you
walk away.
 Never sign a blank receipt. Draw a line through any blank spaces above the total.
 Save your receipts to compare with your statement.
 Open your bills promptly — or check them online often — and reconcile them with the purchases
you’ve made.
 Report any questionable charges to the card issuer.
 Notify your card issuer if your address changes or if you will be traveling.
 Don’t write your account number on the outside of an envelope.
