Onling Courses: Financial Education

The Iowa Able Foundation recognizes the importance of financial literacy, particularly for persons interested in obtaining a loan.  Furthermore, we realize that our clients possess varying levels of financial education, which is why we encourage all applicants and borrowers to complete Money Smart, a training program from FDIC designed to assist adults with enhancing their financial skills and learning how to create positive banking relationships. 

This online training module is easy to use—even if you have little or no banking experience—and will help advance your financial knowledge, develop your financial confidence, and assist you in using banking services more effectively.
