Free Bee and the IBC Bank-Eagle Pass team got in the back to school spirit at the Mall de las Aguilas Pep it Up Rally. During the event, the IBC Bank team emphasized the importance of saving money, one of the Money Buzz principles, to local students. The children had the opportunity to get in the Money Machine to catch HEB Bucks.

Money Buzz was developed by IBC Bank under the direction of certified teachers and provides students fundamental lessons in financial literacy. IBC teaches the courses to elementary, middle and high school students, as well as local community groups. The lessons cover a range of financial concepts, and vary by age group, but include topics such as maintaining a check register, reconciling a bank statement, and calculating compounded interest earned. Materials for students are available at no cost on ibc.com.
