Students will participate in a six-course online program and after completion, they will have the opportunity to apply for $1000 Bank Account Program scholarships. The program was initially launched in October of 2020.

Chime put out a new promotional campaign narrated by 21 Savage to coincide with the release of the campaign.

“Growing up in Atlanta, the hustling energy just rub off on you,” 21 Savage says in the promo. “Financial literacy is important because that’s one of the main things that you need to operate and be successful as an adult. I just wanted to come up with something that could kids have some understanding of what to do with that money.”
