Win New Business
With the help of EVERFI’s powerful financial education content, First Bank has been winning new business across the Carolinas. “We were recently presenting our financial wellness package to a fairly large company—about 550 employees. It turned out we were competing with other banks, including some really big ones, and First Bank won the deal. I knew we had the best thing going, but that was an ‘a ha!’ moment that we can compete against anybody and come out on top.”

Reach Younger Demographics
By adding best-in-class financial wellness education to their First@Work program, First Bank attracted more than 10,000 learners from their commercial partners in 2019. They saw a lift in the number of accounts opened by younger demographics from the employee bases they were reaching. “Since we’ve implemented the program, every quarter we’ve had positive account growth.”

Impact Communities with Relevant Content
EVERFI helped First Bank create an ongoing educational series spanning topics like understanding credit scores, identity theft, budgeting, and saving for retirement. “Our First@Work program isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We can tailor it to the different folks and companies we’re in front of to meet their employees’ needs. I’ve seen other financial education programs and they just don’t have the quality or the amount of content that EVERFI offers.”

Scale Your Reach and Save Resources
“We could have tried to develop a financial education solution ourselves, but from a strategic partnership angle, it made more sense to work with EVERFI. They live and breathe this stuff, so letting them take care of the content lets us focus on our customers’ core needs. We’re able to be a lot more nimble than if we tried to build something from within.”
“There is a need for financial wellness in our communities. This program is one way we’ve decided to reinvest to put folks on a better path.”
