April marked the 22nd anniversary of National Financial Literacy Month—a nationwide effort to expand access to financial education and equip individuals with the skills to make informed financial decisions. For Texas Regional Bank (TRB), the observance served as a focused opportunity to provide meaningful, real-world knowledge across the communities it serves.
Throughout the month, TRB branches across all four regions (South Texas, Central Texas, Houston, and North Texas) delivered 228 hours of financial education through the efforts of 90+ team members. In over 130 presentations, lessons, and trainings, TRB team members reached 46 colleges and schools, adult day centers, housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations across Texas. Topics included budgeting, credit, fraud prevention, and savings strategies—each tailored to the specific needs of the respective market and community.
The initiative was spearheaded by Blythe Cox, TRB’s Business Development & Community Engagement Officer in Central Texas. “Our team prioritizes financial literacy every month, but we knew National Awareness Month is an opportunity to do something bigger and get everyone involved,” said Cox. “We set out to create genuine connections and share financial tools that people can use right away—whether they’re students, seniors, or working families.”
“Financial education is foundational to economic mobility and long-term security,” said Jamie Brown-Rosas, Chief Community & Business Development Officer. “We believe that when individuals understand how to manage their finances, they gain confidence and the freedom to plan for the future. That’s why we make financial education a priority every month in every community we serve.”
TRB’s participation in Financial Literacy Month illustrates its core values in action—community, teamwork, and integrity. By providing consistent, accessible financial education, the bank supports individuals while contributing to broader community resilience.
While April offers a national platform, the bank’s commitment to financial education continues year-round—one conversation, one classroom, and one relationship at a time.
