Chemical Bank

Chemical Bank firmly believes in helping children establish a financial foundation for their future success. By learning financial skills early in life, children develop good money management habits that will benefit them as they grow.

Chemical Bank promotes financial education and literacy among children by:

Visiting local elementary schools and participating in the Teach Children to Save Program in April
Partnering with Junior Achievement to teach basic financial lessons
Offering a Youth Savings Account that does not have monthly service charges
Employing Dollar, Chemical Bank’s mascot

Dollar is a silver squirrel dedicated to providing financial education to children and adults across the state. He likes traveling across Michigan and making special appearances at parades, festivals, and community events.

Dollar joined Chemical Bank in 2008 and shares Chemical Bank’s commitment to educating the public on various matters that relate to the banking industry. He encourages children to save their money by filling their piggy banks and then depositing it into their savings account. Dollar provides a quarterly newsletter with fun facts and games for children that provides basic banking information.

Chemical Bank is pleased to announce that for a second year in a row, we are a winner of a Michigan Bankers Association (MBA) Financial Literacy Award.
