Get Smart About Credit Registration
Banker Registration | Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Get Smart About Credit Program?
Get Smart About Credit Day is an annual event held in October where bankers visit local classrooms to share with students the "credit facts of life." The ninth annual event will be celebrated on October 20. Since it was started by the ABA Education Foundation in 2003 more than 18,000 bankers have reached some 704,993 young people.
Why should I participate?
Changes in the economy and new legislation will likely influence the mechanics of obtaining credit. For young people having credit won't just be new, it will be new and different. As bankers you'll have the opportunity to use the Get Smart Credit program to help young people navigate this new responsibility. Registered banks will be featured on the online GSAC Honor Roll, the foundation's list of registered banks, set to go live in September.
Is there any banker training for Get Smart About Credit?
