Testimonials

Our Partners Say it Best.

Lyndsey DelatteMarketing Associate, Louisiana Federal Credit Union

“Money Mammals offers an AMAZING program for a great price! They offer a wide variety of tools to use for your youth members. Every month, our credit union uses their birthday postcards to mail to our youngest members on their special day. In addition, they have a parent packet you can mail to parents that open accounts for youth under the age of two. The Money Mammals teaching guide makes it super easy when you want to incorporate financial education into local schools. These are just a few ideas of what you can do with their program. I absolutely love the Money Mammals youth program!”

Courtney FulmerVP of Marketing & Member Services, SECNY Federal Credit Union

“The Money Mammals program has really helped us engage with parents, teachers and students. It’s not just about teaching kids to save, but to find value in how and where they use money. Plus, they make it easy for us to run by providing updated content, electronic components and branded materials to help better prepare our young members for the future!”

      You’re Smart to Pay Attention!

      Your kids are exposed to money messages
      that emphasize spending before they’re even two years old.

      We make money smarts fun for them so that they’ll learn that there’s more to money than spending. Your kids can learn about sharing (charitable giving) and saving and smart spending.

      Healthy money habits for you and your kids.

       

      “I love The Art of Allowance because it took the complication out of the allowance concept…we have noticed a positive shift… in our household since incorporating the allowance… it opens up money discussions… and gives kids hand on experience with managing money and making decisions.”

      — Breanna Reish, CFP® (Certified Financial Planner)

       

      We can help you get started with a child of any age.
