ongoing mission to expand financial literacy and build a brighter,
stronger future
Cross River Bank (“Cross River”), a technology infrastructure
provider that offers embedded financial solutions, teamed up with
Financially CLEAN and Visa to host a financial literacy event at
the New York Stock Exchange for New York City high school and
college students in celebration of April’s National Financial
Literacy Month. The event educated students about the importance of
financial literacy, providing them with the tools and knowledge
they need to manage their money responsibly and empower them for a
brighter financial future.
“We were built on a foundation of financial inclusion, giving
and serving the underserved,” said Eden Hoffman, Head of Global
Communications at Cross River. “Our work with Visa and Financially
CLEAN is empowering students, showing them the power of community
and how modern financial services can help them live their dreams,
and we are thrilled to continue this partnership.”
Held on Friday, April 19th, the day consisted of a series of
engaging discussions led by financial experts from Cross River,
Visa, the NYSE, the Federal Reserve, Financially CLEAN, a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization that provides FREE financial literacy
education for youth and young adults, and Hopes, Dreams,
Dedication, Inspiring Change (HDDIC), an organization devoted to
meeting the needs of displaced families and single adults with
physical, mental and developmental disorders in an atmosphere of
wellness.
"Financially CLEAN targets the youths before they can legally
establish credit,” said Shaun Lynda, Founder of Financially CLEAN.
“I believe the earlier we teach positive financial habits and
promote good credit the greater the likelihood these practices will
continue. Resulting in creating wealth for themselves and
generations to follow.”
Throughout the day, over 130 students learned about building
credit and growing wealth, received a macro-economic perspective,
and gained insight into the role financial institutions play in the
economy.

alike.
