April is Financial Literacy Month, a reminder that building financial confidence doesn’t happen all at once. It happens through small decisions, consistent habits, and learning moments that add up over time.   

This month, focus on these four simple steps to help you feel more confident and in control of your financial wellbeing: 

1. Know Where You Stand 

Every strong financial plan starts with awareness. Take time to understand your current financial picture: 

• Check your credit score (free in Digital Banking!) and identify one area you’d like to improve.  

• Review last month's spending and look for patterns.  

• Take a financial wellbeing checkup on our free Partners Wellbeing platform to see your financial stress score and money personality.  

Our Partners Wellbeing platform includes videos, articles, interactive tools, and personalized insights to help you understand where you are, and where you want to go. These educational resources can help you stay motivated and continue building habits that support your goals.  

2. Build One Small Habit  

Financial progress is built on consistency, not perfection. Choose one small action to focus on this month:  

• Set up an automatic transfer, even $5, into savings each payday.  

• Cancel one subscription you no longer use.  

• Set a realistic payoff goal for one debt.  

Small habits build momentum and fuel lasting change.  

3. Reduce Financial Stress 

Sometimes the hardest part of financial wellness is simply knowing where to begin. Ask yourself:  

• What financial goal would reduce my stress right now?  

• Which bill or expense feels hardest to manage?  

• What would financial confidence look like six months from now?  

When you’re ready for personalized support, schedule a one-on-one appointment with a Financial Wellness Coach. Together, we can create a plan that works for your life.  

4. Plan for What’s Next 

• Financial confidence isn't just about solving today’s challenges, it’s about preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities. Consider: 

• What financial goal do you want to reach by the end of the year?  

• Are you planning for a big purchase, a move, or long-term savings?  

• What knowledge would help you feel more prepared?  

Whether you’re building better habits, strengthening your credit, or planning ahead, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
