GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Independent Bank is launching a financial literacy campaign, Pour into Sweet Savings, April 17th, 2016 to promote teaching children the value of saving. It can be a challenge to teach the concept of money, and in an effort to help educate children on this important topic, Independent Bank will be giving away free lemonade stand kits at all of their branches (while supplies last) to each child who currently has, or who opens a new, Independent Bank Swift! savings account April 17-July 1, 2016. The account is free for children under 18, and a great tool to help them become familiar with the importance of saving.
Each Pour into Sweet Savings lemonade stand kit includes everything the child will need to start learning about saving, as well as how they can start their own lemonade stand and jumpstart their entrepreneurial spirit. The kit will include lemonade packets and stickers to place on cups to get their lemonade stand ready to go, as well as a book with savings tips and a deposit log to keep track of their earnings. As an added incentive, the child who deposits the most money into their Swift! savings account April 17-July 31, 2016 at each branch will also win a free lemonade stand to take home. Stop by a local Independent Bank branch or visit IndependentBank.com for more details.
