Washington is at it again - BUT SO ARE WE!

Texas Community is once again providing bridge lines of credit to cover our government workers/TCB Customers who are negatively impacted by the government shutdown. If you’re missing paychecks, YOU DON’T HAVE TO! Just come by your local TCB branch and we’re willing, able and ready to help. Remember - “COMMUNITY” is our middle name!

In spite of miserable weather this morning, TCB-Somerset’s Diane Nieto worked with the San Antonio Food Bank to distribute food packages at the Somerset Senior Citizen Center, a daycare facility for the elderly. Simultaneous to sharing the food, she also instructed the clients regarding financial literacy. Both food security and financial illiteracy are challenges to a large percentage of our seniors and TCB does what we can to assist them with these critical challenges.

Earlier today, TCB-McAllen’s Connie Gonzalez and Noemi Montes conducted a Financial Literacy Presentation at Austin Middle School in San Juan, TX. The presentation was delivered to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and focused on the importance of saving money, establishing credit, how to write a check and understanding banking products and services. The students were highly engaged, asking insightful questions throughout the session. A variety of topics were covered including tips for saving and the basics of credit and it was obvious that the students were eager to learn more about managing their finances.
To wrap up the presentation, the TCB ladies provided the students with a word search worksheet featuring key financial terms. They had fun with it and were excited to earn a small prize for completing the activity. TCB believes that FINANCIAL LITERACY is the key to future financial security for these students and their families!
