WE’RE HERE FOR OUR NEIGHBORS

There are so many needs in our communities. We believe it is our responsibility to do what we can to address them.

We do that through financial services, economic development efforts and also with our own personal time and efforts. Our employees volunteer countless hours to a wide variety of worthy organizations and efforts, and they love every minute of it. Truth is, if you ask our employees what they like most about working at United Bank, many of them say they enjoy the opportunity to give back, to support our communities and to help our neighbors. And we’re extremely proud of that.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS

United Bank is committed to working with young people to create smart, financially savvy individuals who will lead our community into the future.

Teach Children to Save

Through our Teach Children to Save program, United Bank volunteers worked with over 600 students in our area schools. These included Silverhill Elementary, J.U. Blacksher Elementary, Excel Elementary, Rachel Patterson Elementary, and Bay Minette Elementary. We also visited the Atmore Public Library during Wee Ones Story Time to talk about saving money and did the same with youngsters during our Poarch Creek Financial Literacy visit.

First Books

During the same time period, 19 United Bank volunteers gave away 2,374 books to elementary students at the following elementary schools: Daphne, Elberta, Elsanor, Loxley, Magnolia Springs, Perdido, Pine Grove, Swift, Rachel Patterson, Huxford, J.U. Blacksher, Excel, Bratt, and Berryhill. Books were also given to Escambia County Middle School. Volunteers spent nearly 30 hours delivering the books and some of the book presentations included reading time with the children.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

Financial literacy is essential for individuals and families to make smart choices and ensure they become and remain financially stable. However, money management isn’t taught in schools or on the job. Which is why United Bank is supporting and encouraging financial literacy with our Financial Focus online platform. This simple, easy-to-navigate online portal gives unlimited access to valuable financial tutorials such as Money Basics, Loans and Payments, Paying for College, Retirement Planning, and more. There are also financial calculators, goal setting tools, and information for small businesses.
