First Horizon Bank Expands Financial Literacy Impact Through Its 2026 Teach Children to Save Program
First Horizon Bank announced that it served nearly 8,700 students through the 2026 American Bankers Association (ABA) Foundation's Teach Children to Save financial education movement.
Now in its 16th year of collaboration with the ABA Foundation, First Horizon associates taught age-appropriate lessons on savings, budgeting, and responsible spending. Financial literacy lessons took place at schools, community centers, and youth organizations, reaching children from kindergarten through eighth grade and reinforcing early habits that support long-term financial health.
"We believe that through early financial education, we can help build financial confidence. Teaching the basics of saving and budgeting sets children up for success throughout life," said Beth Ardoin, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Communications Officer for First Horizon. "Thanks to the nearly 500 associates who participated this year, we were able to teach children in all of our markets. This success reflects our team's deep commitment to closing the financial literacy gap in the communities we serve."
