BALANCE and Subcat Media Team Up to Offer Youth Financial Education to Credit Unions
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 04, 2015 -- In a move to help credit unions reach the next generation of members, BALANCE announced it has formed a strategic alliance with Subcat Media. The alliance gives BALANCE exclusive rights to offer Subcat Media’s award-winning youth financial education programs—the Elements of Money® for teens and M3 Money Club® for kids—to its credit union partners across the U.S.
“The effectiveness of most youth financial programs are met with mixed reviews, which is why we chose a leader in the space to help us deliver relevant and engaging content. M3 Money Club and Elements of Money are the best youth financial education programs in the market today,” said Kathryn J. Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer for BALANCE. “Subcat Media, like BALANCE, is committed to helping credit unions better serve their members. We believe this collaboration is an excellent complement to all of the other financial education programs we offer.”
M3 Money Club® is designed for kids ages six to 12 years old. When a young member joins the M3 Money Club through their credit union, they become part of a league of superheroes tasked with learning positive money skills. The program features a kid-friendly website filled with activities, comics, puzzles, coloring pages and lots of fun, as well as promotional material to encourage parents to open a savings account for their child.
Elements of Money® is geared toward teens ages 13 to 18 years old. The program harnesses the power of social media with fully-managed marketing campaigns and contests to deliver financial education to today’s tech-savvy generation. It’s all driven by a co-branded website filled with financial content including articles, podcasts, videos and quizzes.
BALANCE partners are now eligible for special pricing and bundle discounts for both youth programs. For more information, contact Todd Nelson, chief marketing officer: (415) 788-0288, ext. 542.
