Mission
With the US Savings rate dropping at an average of 100% per year, it has become
an issue of supreme importance that we teach our children to save at an early
age. Despite the efforts of many
credit unions and banks, the 1997 American Bankers Association Consumer Tracking
Survey indicated that consumers generally do
not believe that financial institutions care about their communities.
The survey also showed that primary users of banks were not as satisfied
with their banking relationships as they were in 1994.
It might be a good idea to start turning these negatives into positives.
Kid Savers is designed to do just that.
Kid Savers is a simple, effective, and
“kid-friendly” software program that allows for youngsters to learn the
value of money and the importance of saving for their futures. This program is
designed to facilitate simple monetary transactions for young people. It can be
set up either at your financial institution or at a local community school and
is designed to help them learn “the ropes” of the financial world. As
you will see, not only will they learn the value of proper investment, but they
will also be rewarded for it! The Kid Savers Mission is, like the program itself, a simple one. We want to help children throughout the nation learn about the early stages of the financial world in a fun and interactive way. The bottom line is simple – If we do not reach the children of today, the nation will be faced with a generation of spenders dependant on credit cards, loans and never-ending mountains of debt. Kid Savers Network
The Kid Savers
Network is a uniform base consisting of Banks, Credit Unions, Independent
Representatives and Philanthropic Organizations. We want to offer this unique
software (along with an interactive money game) exclusively
to sponsors in these industries. In turn, sponsors will be able to offer Kid Savers to the
various schools they are affiliated with, or wish to be affiliated with, in and
around the area.
This
network can be personalized by the institution providing the service. Kid
Savers will provide a win-win situation for all parties involved.
The children benefit by understanding how to “make sense out of dollars
and cents” while sponsors reap the reward of good publicity and increased
personal savings both by children and word of mouth. The nation receives the overall reward of knowing that our
economic future is in good hands. |
