Miami-based OneUnited Bank, the country’s largest Black-owned bank, has officially launched its 15th Annual “I Got Bank!” National Financial Literacy Contest, offering 10 children each a $1,000 savings account.
Children interested in entering the contest must read a financial literacy book of their choosing, and either write a 250-word essay or create an art project to show how they would apply what they learned from the book to their daily lives. Only those between the ages of 8 and 12 are eligible to enter.
Submissions must be emailed or postmarked by June 30, 2025. The bank will then choose and award each of the 10 winners a $1,000 savings account at OneUnited Bank by Aug. 31, 2025…
