Financial education is always top of mind for our employees. We recently took part in guiding players from the OKC Spark on budgeting. “I can hardly believe it has been a year since I was able to meet the OKC Spark players for the first time. Today, I got to build upon our first financial wellness discussion by educating them on the power of a budget, what does credit really mean, and the comparison of investing and saving now vs. doing it later. I’m beyond thankful and blessed for the opportunity to have come back; my heart is full just seeing how eager they were to learn, ask very good questions, and set themselves up for success on and off the field," said Montric Santee, Financial Planner and presenter of the “Get Money Smart: Financial Wellness” class to the professional athletes of the OKC Spark. #LifeAtBOKF #CommunityPartner #FinancialEducation
