Teaching real-world financial literacy

Backed by Hills Bank and Trust Company, Banzai teaches students to navigate adult financial dilemmas with real-life scenarios.

It's about more than money

Hills Bank and Trust Company is smart about business. But supporting financial literacy is more than good business—it's about giving back. It's about giving young people a gift that will last forever.

Three happy students pose for a picture with their arms around each other in the hallway of their school.

Let's build a better future. Together.

Check out all the exciting things Hills Bank and Trust Company is doing for the community.

"There is no doubt in my mind that when students use technology to learn, it becomes fun, and Banzai is exactly that!!"

Extremely Fun Teacher

"Banzai helped me realize how to manage my money with different choices and made me realize which choices are smart ones!"

Enamored Student

"One thing I learned is that it pays off to do good and be smart about the future! Get insurance, donate to charity!"

Enthused Student

"Every day my students ask, 'When is the next time we will use Banzai?'"

Very Credible Teacher
