What is Project ACCOUNTability?

With the right financial education, children grow into adults who have the ability to save, budget, and avoid serious debt. They have the ability to live more fully, without being weighed down by financial stress.

That’s why we created Project ACCOUNTability, Pelican’s hub for all resources geared to teaching kids how to manage money. These tools are for parents and kids, including:

Webinars, blogs & other educational content
Downloads & guided practice activities
Events & in-person training

Absolutely. We do everything we can to support parents and their kids in understanding finances and providing the best-fit products for them.

Our team also offers appointments for you and your child to have sit-down conversations at any of our branch locations to start your child's financial journey. During those visits, we discuss ways to set your child up for financial success and which accounts might be right for them.

Through Project ACCOUNTability, Pelican offers free resources including webinars, downloads, articles, videos and more all geared to helping jumpstart kids’ financial education.

Plus, you can find Pelican in schools across Louisiana providing free youth financial education programs

Having a strong credit score is helpful in so many ways in the future of your child’s financial life. We suggest high school as a great time to start building your child’s credit. One of the best ways to do so is by adding them as an authorized user on your credit card while teaching them responsibility and education along the way.

No matter when you choose to help your child start building credit (if that’s a decision you make)—educating them on the topic early will pay off later.

Our free Make Your Kid “Money Smart” Webinar, coming up on February 16 and March 23, will help you jumpstart their financial education and teach them how to build credit, budget, and save.
