“We could not be more excited about the return of our eBus to
our local neighborhoods,” said Stefanie Steward-Young, senior vice
president and chief corporate social responsibility officer, Fifth
Third Bank. “While we have continued to keep our branches open for
service and created online eBus events during the pandemic, nothing
is better than being physically present with our community members
and helping them empower their lives financially. We can’t wait to
be with everyone again to see how we can best serve them and meet
their needs.”
The eBus will kick-off its new community schedule on July 29,
2021 in Chicago. In collaboration with the Chicago Urban League,
the eBus will be present at a COVID-19 vaccination clinic. In
addition to the ability to get vaccinated against COVID-19,
residents will be able to board the Fifth Third Bank eBus for the
following services:
- Credit reports and scores and a report review with a
professional banker
- Personal evaluation of finances
- Financial education modules
- Internet banking and bill payment tutorials
- Online job searches
- Online account openings
- Loan application referrals
“We are thrilled to have the Fifth Third eBus at our ‘Don’t Miss
Your Shot!’ vaccination event,” said Karen Freeman-Wilson,
president and CEO, Chicago Urban League. “Our two organizations
understand the clear connection between physical and financial
health. The Urban League embraces the opportunity to underscore
this with one of our most committed partners. Health equity and
financial empowerment are two hallmarks of the League’s efforts to
reduce the racial wealth gap.”
The Fifth Third eBus is a key component of the Bank’s financial
empowerment mobile strategy that seeks to address the gap caused by
banking deserts and the lack of financial services for low- and
moderate-income communities. The eBus is a mobile classroom
equipped with 12 desktop computer stations and Wi-Fi capabilities.
Community members are greeted by Fifth Third Bank employee
volunteers and community partner representatives at eBus events.
Fifth Third also has a “Banking to Go” pop-up shop that can be set
up at various venues and events. Banking to Go events also are
included in the eBus tour schedule where similar services are
available. Nearly half a million people have visited the eBus since
2004.
Following the “Don’t Miss Your Shot!” event in Chicago on July
29, the eBus has additional scheduled stops in Chicago and then
heads to Dayton and Cincinnati in Ohio before returning to Chicago
in August. Banking to Go will be at the Café Indy Far Eastside
Festival on August 7 in Indianapolis and at the Black Family
Reunion in Cincinnati on Aug. 20. The full eBus schedule can be
found online.
Fifth Third is a leader in financial education programming. In
addition to its financial empowerment mobile strategy, the Fifth
Third L.I.F.E. (Lives Improved through Financial Empowerment®)
programs have helped educate 2.6 million people in the ways of
personal finance over the past 17 years. Programs include the
Bank’s newly updated Young Bankers Club® and Fifth Third Finance
Academy, which teaches teens financial foundations and
entrepreneurship. More about the Bank’s commitment to financial
empowerment programs and services can be found in the Social
section of the Bank’s 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) Report.
