About Us

Recent surveys reveal that Americans consider financial literacy as important as any subjects traditionally taught in schools. Why then is it that most consumers graduate without basic money management knowledge and are left to learn financial skills through trial and error? To help students of all ages learn the essentials of personal finance, Visa has partnered with leading consumer advocates, educators, and financial institutions to create the Practical Money Skills program.

At www.practicalmoneyskills.com and www.whatsmyscore.org, educators, parents, and students can access free educational resources including personal finance articles, games, lesson plans, and more. Visa also works with state and national government to co-sponsor community-based events such as statewide Financial Football rollouts and the annual Financial Literacy in Education Summit. Additionally, Visa donates computer labs along with the Practical Money Skills curriculum to schools in high-need areas. Learn more about Visa's outreach program.

Practical Money Skills for Life is educator-developed and educator-approved, and the program reaches millions of students across the nation. If you have questions or would like to learn more about Practical Money Skills for Life, please email us at info@practicalmoneyskills.com.
