FSCB Launching Banker Jr Mobile Application

FARMINGTON, MO.- First State Community Bank, MO is excited to partner with HT Mobile Apps to launch Banker Jr. a financial literacy mobile application this spring. Banker Jr is designed to teach young children to set savings goals, keep track of their accounts and other money concepts via a fun and interactive mobile app.

As a community bank, educating children on money is a part of our core values. Banker Jr offers us a way to do this in a channel they are already using every day--mobile" says Crystal Boyer, Marketing Specialist & Clubs Coordinator for First State Community Bank. "Banker Jr is also a tool for parents to start the dialogue about money."

FSCB began an internal launch of the mobile app. In less than two weeks 45 co-workers had signed up and there were over 150 plays of the games.

One quote from an FSCB employee: Olivia loves the app and spent half an hour sorting coins! Then another half hour trying on outfits. She knows what each coin is now! She even told me 'I am going to save my money and buy a swimming pool'.

FSCB is offering the Banker Jr. application as a benefit of their Junior Savers savings account designed specifically for kids ages 6 -- 16.

The FSCB partner, HT Mobile Apps, believes in building smart, fun apps. They are a small but powerful app development company. HT Mobile Apps partners with Community Banks and Credit Unions, aiming to push beyond traditional mobile banking platforms to find fun, innovative ways for financial institutions to tap into the app experience.
