Mid Penn Bank officially launched MPB Classroom, a comprehensive financial literacy education initiative designed to educate and empower students, families and community members. The formal announcement aligns with Financial Literacy Month and reinforces the Bank’s commitment to supporting long-term financial wellness through education.
“The importance of financial literacy education cannot be overstated,” Mid Penn Bank President and CEO Rory Ritrievi said. “We are excited to bring the MPB Classroom program to all of the communities we serve throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Educating all people, particularly those from underrepresented communities, on how to manage, save and invest money is a responsibility that we take seriously at Mid Penn Bank.”
MPB Classroom has been gradually introduced over the past several months and is now fully operational across the Bank’s footprint. The program provides free, unlimited access to state-aligned financial education through a combination of in-person presentations, digital tools, and customized resources. The program is already active in schools, libraries, shelters and nonprofit organizations throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Lessons are tailored to all age levels and cover topics such as budgeting, saving, credit, retirement planning and more. The program also features personalized, co-branded online financial wellness centers that serve as educational hubs for partner organizations.
To lead this growing effort, the Bank has hired a full-time community educator dedicated to facilitating lessons, supporting local educators and nonprofit leaders, and building partnerships that bring financial knowledge directly to where it is needed most.
