EVANSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: ONB) – Old National Bancorp (“Old National”) is expanding upon its long-standing commitment as a leader in the financial education space with two new, engaging digital initiatives: a Real-Life Finance Podcast, and a Smart Money Half-Minute video series.
The Real-Life Finance Podcast is a complement to Old National’s popular Real-Life Finance eLearning education platform and in-person workshops. Hosted by Old National Financial Empowerment Director Ben Joergens, each episode focuses on everyday financial solutions that empower listeners to build the financial future they richly deserve. The debut episode, featuring former NBA player and current Old National Executive Recruiter Luke Zeller, is available at oldnational.com/RLF as well as on popular podcast platforms.
The Smart Money Half-Minute videos, which debuted in October, are featured on Old National’s Instagram and TikTok channels, as well as at oldnational.com/Smart Money, with a new video posted once a week. The videos star young adults who share their advice about budgeting, saving and other keys to effective financial management.
“Old National believes that a strong foundation in money management is fundamental to achieving one’s dreams and maintaining financial independence and success,” said Old National Chief Communications, Culture & Social Responsibility Officer Kathy Schoettlin. “That’s why we are so excited about these new, fun and engaging additions to Old National’s financial education tool kit.”
The Smart Money Half-Minute videos dovetail with Old National’s Real-Life Finance online financial education curriculum. Real-Life Finance is a low-cost ($4.95 for a lifetime license) e-learning program with 46 individual lessons covering Financial Psychology, Budgeting, Account Management, Credit, Loans and Debt, Careers, Entrepreneurship, Home Ownership, and more. This program is available for universities, business clients (for their employees), and more.
“Our Real-Life Finance lessons aren’t lectures full of complicated, out-of-reach ideas,” says Joergens. “They are easily understandable, interactive tools that engage users and help them understand different views and behaviors.”
