Maximizing Your Financial Education with Zogo

At First Bank and Trust Company, we believe that financial literacy is the key to helping you manage your money effectively and make informed decisions. However, many people face barriers to accessing financial education, which leads to a lack of confidence and increases financial stress. To support you in overcoming these challenges, we offer Zogo, a fun and engaging tool designed to help you improve your financial knowledge while earning rewards you can use.

Why Financial Education Matters

Financial literacy is vital for making smart financial choices, whether you're saving for a goal, budgeting, or planning for the future. Unfortunately, many people struggle with financial anxiety due to a lack of knowledge. By providing free access to Zogo through our mobile and online banking platforms, we aim to help you build the skills you need to make confident financial decisions.

How Zogo Helps You Learn

Zogo isn’t just about offering you financial education—it's designed to make the process effective and engaging. Here’s how it works:

Active Learning through Testing

Zogo incorporates a method called the "testing effect" to enhance your learning. This approach involves testing your knowledge as you go, which has been shown to improve information retention and recall. By taking quizzes and mini-tests after each lesson, you’ll reinforce what you’ve learned and feel more confident in your financial knowledge.

Microlearning for Easier Understanding

We understand that long lessons filled with complex financial jargon can be overwhelming. That’s why Zogo breaks down financial education into short, digestible lessons. This method, known as microlearning, is designed to keep you engaged and make the information easier to retain. You can take lessons at your own pace, making learning more accessible and less intimidating.

Gamified Learning Makes It Fun

Zogo uses gamification to keep you motivated. You can earn points by completing lessons and quizzes, and those points can be redeemed for real-world rewards, like gift cards or even direct deposits. The more you learn, the more you can earn! Plus, there are leaderboards and challenges to encourage friendly competition.
