NJBankers, OceanFirst Bank Host

Veterans Financial Literacy Class

On June 25, NJBankers partnered with OceanFirst Bank and VFW Post 1333 in Neptune on a financial literacy class for our state's veterans.

NJBankers VP/Director of Government Affairs Brittany Wheeler addressed attendees, and the class was facilitated by OceanFirst's Tom Vogel, who spoke to the importance of credit scores, saving, creating personal budgets to achieve financial goals, and identity theft.

It's always great being out in the community supporting our veterans alongside our member banks. Thank you to all who attended and made this vital class possible!
