Matched Savings Program
Bank On Hampton Roads also includes a matched savings program. Participants who save $150, attend classes and coaching exercises, and meet all criteria receive a $150 match which establishes an emergency fund of $300. Funds for matched savings are disbursed as available on a first-come, first-served basis. Funds are solicited from churches, grants, and corporate donations.
During your monthly classes, you will learn strategies to overcome paycheck-to-paycheck living and speedy ways to reduce debt.
You will also be partnered with a personal financial coach who will help you take what is learned in class and apply those lessons to your unique circumstances. During these monthly coaching sessions, you will build a financial plan centered on your goals and your dreams.
Coupled with the combination of knowledge and improved financial management techniques, you can see your financial dreams become reality!
Each February and September, a new 5-month program begins.
