Program Summary:

Founded in 2008, Cross River is a New Jersey State chartered FDIC-insured bank that merges the established expertise of a bank with the innovation and product offering of a technology company and exemplifies the unique ability to adapt to stay nimble while empowering consumers and providing access to financial services. Cross River’s Financial Literacy Initiative is a program built on these values, coupled with our mission of giving back to the community. While it began as a series of community events, it has since evolved into something much larger, encompassing events, partnerships, literary resources and high school curricula, all with the goal of providing a modern approach to financial literacy with a strong focus on technology and inclusion today.
