Penn East FCU is bringing financial literacy education to over 14,180 students in Lackawanna and Wyoming counties. Students at 61 schools have free access to Banzai, an award-winning online program and content library that allows users to practice real-world finance from the safety of their home or classroom using any internet-enabled device. 

At a time when a solid foundation of practical financial knowledge is critical, these resources will make a huge impact on users. All of these resources are available to students at home or in the classroom via any device that can access the internet.

Banzai content builds a foundation of practical knowledge and gives students the tools to create a sound financial future. While students learn, teachers can easily monitor and grade their progress remotely. After finishing Banzai, students will know how to track where their money is and what it’s for, recognize financial trade-offs, build a budget, and more. At a time when many are facing unprecedented financial challenges, these lessons are invaluable. The Banzai resources are available at penneast.teachbanzai.com. 

Penn East FCU is working with Banzai to build financial literacy in the community by investing time, money, industry experience, and a variety of credit union resources. Beyond the Banzai library, Penn East FCU also offers virtual or in-classroom presentations from local experts on timely topics.

Banzai resources are used by over 100,000 teachers across the U.S. The courses align with Pennsylvania’s state curriculum requirements, making the program a fun way for students to gain vital financial literacy skills.
