These services charge high fees that can be avoided.

A Learning Circle is highly interactive; the goal is to build and share knowledge through open dialogue and reflection around financial challenges with a focus on a shared outcome.
Participants meet weekly in small groups for 1.5 hours for six consecutive weeks, and also have the opportunity to meet individually, at no cost, with a Financial Coach.
Topics covered include benefits of banking, online banking, identifying fraud, and credit building. Each participant that is able to build and maintain a savings account of $250 over the course of 3- 5 months receives a $250 bonus match from Liberty Bank.
