(Minneapolis) – Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB), a Western Kentucky icon, has again been named one of the top extraordinary banks in the United States by the Institute for Extraordinary BankingTM.
CFSB was recognized as the winner among banks with $500 million to $1 billion in assets in the Institute’s Money Smarts Banky(tm) Category of Excellence Award for Financial Literacy Education because of their extraordinary service to their clients and their community through a commitment to financial literacy programs.
This is CFSB’s second consecutive award from the Institute.
In 2016, CFSB attained the highest internal culture survey score, proving that the bank is a remarkable organization to have a career that allows the CFSB team to bring excellence to our clients.
CFSB Chief Executive Officer/Head Coach Betsy Flynn said, “CFSB has long been involved in financial literacy for our clients and community. For more than 25 years, the bank has been involved in the student-run bank at Marshall County High School and we are now in our third year with a similar student-run bank at McCracken County High School. Our team makes regular visits to classrooms at all levels of the education system, teaching elementary students with The Centsables, an interactive learning system that can be found on our website at www.yourlifeyourbank.com. We also are proud to use Banzai Online Financial Literacy for both middle and high school students as well as financial expert Dave Ramsey’s Foundations in Personal Finance, High School and College Editions. All of these financial literacy programs are available to each of the school districts and centers for higher education in our four county market footprint. We also are honored to offer Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU) for individuals and couples at various times throughout the year.”
