PEP stands for the Personal Economics Program sponsored by the Tennessee Bankers Association. Nationally, the American Bankers Association Education Foundation coordinates the program. The program promotes understanding of banking and financial services.
PEP programs are designed to fit your needs and can include virtually any topic in the banking and financial industry. Examples of PEP sessions include credit responsibilities, checking account management, and careers in banking.
Bank tours following PEP sessions for school children are popular in the program. Your PEP banker can arrange a general bank tour or design a tour centered around your topic of interest.
Who:
PEP is for everyone, regardless of age. Sessions can be structured to fit the educational level and need of your group. PEP sessions are excellent for kindergarten classes, junior and high school classes, college classes, adult civic groups and young adult clubs.
Where:
PEP is everywhere throughout Tennessee, or, at least can be. PEP sessions are conducted by volunteer bankers. Over 300 Tennessee bankers participate in PEP. If you are interested in scheduling a PEP presentation contact your local bank.
Why:
The TBA sponsors the PEP program to help educate the community on banking issues. PEP training and materials are offered to TBA members through the association.
