Did you know? United Way funded programs are monitored both programmatically and fiscally to ensure accountability and equality.

BANK ON STANISLAUS

Last month we featured an article describing the program and its benefits. Here is a testimonial from a recent participant.

I really enjoyed the Bank On class. The information we got was valuable. We got information about the different types of checking and savings accounts that were available and what accounts were right for us. I would recommend this class to anyone just starting out that has never had a checking or savings account. This class is also good for anyone who wants a second chance at having a checking or savings account.
