Meet Banzai: A Financial Literacy Program for All Ages

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Banzai, an online financial literacy program for members of all ages.

Introducing Banzai: An Online Financial Literacy Program for All Ages

The program was designed to teach children, teenagers, and adults the true value of a dollar. Through a series of games and exercises, Banzai breaks down challenging financial concepts into real-world examples with real-world benefits and consequences. The idea is to educate participants on everything they should have learned in school, including how to manage a budget, earn more money, simplify expenses, and manage insurance and credit.

For Ages 8-12: Banzai Junior

It’s important to become educated in personal finance from a young age, and with Banzai, that can be as early as age eight. In this program, children will learn about money by starting a virtual lemonade stand, opening a savings account, and saving for a new bike. These illustrative examples will help children understand the value of money, how it can grow by saving it, and how those savings can turn into long-term rewards.

For Ages 13-18: Banzai Teen

Banzai Teen helps teenagers learn about life after high school. Though there may be safety and security at home, the goal of this program is to teach your teenager about financial independence. That means learning how to hold a steady job, work long hours, and do what it takes to succeed financially no matter what life sends their way. Teens will learn first-hand how to handle rent, credit cards, car loans, insurance, and taxes. And much more!

For Adults: Banzai Plus

Banzai Plus is for adults age 18 and older. It’s never too late to learn how to manage your personal finances, and our online financial literacy program was designed to make the process fun. Adults will learn how to manage financial dilemmas, maintain good credit, purchase insurance, understand taxes, and qualify for a mortgage. You’ll even learn how to build credit and protect yourself against identity theft.

DEXSTA Federal Credit Union is thrilled to offer Banzai to our members! Start the program whenever you’d like to learn more about managing your personal finances with great success. Or, get the whole family together and learn it together! And if your children and teenagers don’t have an account yet, stop by one of our branches.
