Tiny visitors, big lessons! 🐷 We loved welcoming Kiddie Korner Daycare to our 12th & Broadway branch for a behind-the-scenes look at banking. The children toured the branch, learned about different banking departments, and watched our tellers in action. Each child also received an FBTC piggy bank to help make saving fun from an early age. Thank you for spending the day with us!
