Financial Foundations

Exceptional tools to build strong foundations.

We believe success begins with a solid understanding of key financial concepts and are committed to paving a path toward a secure financial future for those we serve. To that end, we have partnered with the following organizations in our pursuit to provide a strong financial education program:


  • FDIC Money Smart Alliance - The Glacier Family of Banks is a member in strong standing with the FDIC Money Smart Alliance. This instructor led program allows our banks to work directly with community based organizations to help individuals develop strong money management skills. 


  • Everfi -  In conjunction with our instructor led curriculum, we also offer a self-paced computer based education program to students and adults seeking real world financial training.


For more information about how to get involved with any of these financial education opportunities, please contact the bank.


To promote lifelong financial literacy for our customers, we’ve teamed with the experts at Everfi to offer a brief, yet powerful interactive learning experience we call Financial Foundations. This program is offered to all our customers, community members and bank employees at no cost whatsoever.

Here are just a few of the things you can learn about using Financial Foundations:

  • Checking and savings accounts, and building savings for the future
  • Payments—how they are processed and how to avoid overdrafts
  • Credit scores and reports and what they mean for you
  • Financing an education, new home, or car: How loans work
  • Credit cards help you pay for what you need today—What to know before you spend
  • Taxes, insurance, and other expenses to plan for
  • Retirement isn’t that far away. Saving now can have big returns later
  • Avoid being a victim of identity theft
