THE ASK Create an integrated program that encourages students between high school and college to open a checking account and gain financial independence.
THE INSIGHT Students only take advice from their friends...not authority figures, not overpowering parents, and definitely not banks.
THE BIG IDEA What if...money was your friend? And like your friend, it talked to you? If money could talk and interact with you directly through social media, what would it say?

Guerrilla Distribute for students to create their own during Orientation Week.
