Rapper 21 Savage is making financial literacy available for children and their families this summer.

The “Bank Account” rapper announced his new #BankAccount at-home program nationwide on Wednesday with Chime. The free program will provide tools and tips on ways to save and make money. The rapper believes its important to empower our youth for better futures – and we couldn’t agree more.

Chime is an American bank company that provides free financial services through its app without charging overdraft or maintenance fees. The partnership with Chime comes after the rapper launched his Leading by Example Bank Account Program in 2018 to teach financial literacy to students across the U.S.

He is also partnering with Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms to provide free WiFi and tablets to students in the city. Chime announced that they will also launch new financial literacy tools and scholarship opportunities in August.

We believe financial education is so powerful. It can unlock tools that you need to help build your future, and bring you closer to financial peace of mind. That’s why we’ve partnered with @21Savage, his foundation Leading by Example, @juma_ventures, and @everfi to empower our youth for a better future. ✨ We’ll be sharing free online financial literacy resources from EVERFI to help with at-home learning for students and families across the country. We’ve also teamed up with 21 Savage and Atlanta Mayor @keishabottoms to help provide tablets and wifi to some folks in the Atlanta area. This is just the beginning of our collab. We’ll be launching new financial literacy tools and scholarship opportunities in August 2020. Stay tuned! 💚 #BANKACCOUNTATHOME #ATLSTRONG
