Financial Literacy Month may be ending, but the work doesn’t—companies have a real role to play in building financial confidence.   Too often, financial education stops at access and awareness. The real impact comes when learning is practical, rooted in community, and powered by employees. In the latest Up Next newsletter, Synchrony Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer Marissa Lara shares three lessons from the field that are shaping how Synchrony expands financial literacy at scale.   Read more in our latest Up Next newsletter. #EmpoweringFinancialFutures

High-trust culture is the cornerstone of a great place to work. On the #ForAllSummit2026 mainstage with Great Place To Work Michael C.

Did you learn personal finance in school? Only 39% of U.S. consumers surveyed say they did—yet nearly 70% believe it should be taught in schools. Synchrony’s latest In Sync with Consumers survey highlights a gap between what many consumers experienced and what they want for the next generation. And with 75% saying financial literacy is a lifelong journey, the need for earlier and continuous financial education is now considered a life skill for many consumers across the country.

At Synchrony, we’re passionate about expanding access to financial education to everyone. As part of our #EmpoweringFinancialFutures philanthropic initiative, we created a Financial Literacy Training Service Corps, which is an employee-led, volunteer program to bring practical, real-world financial education into communities across the country. This #FinancialLiteracyMonth, we brought together team members from across the U.S. for our inaugural two-day facilitator training at our Stamford headquarters, preparing them to partner with local nonprofits and community organizations as classroom-ready facilitators. They practiced teaching personal finance topics like budgeting, credit, savings, and post-high school planning, but more importantly, they learned “how” to become engaging facilitators to help make the content click for young people. We’re excited to activate this first cohort in our local communities and help build stronger financial futures.

Today we reported first quarter 2026 earnings demonstrating strong momentum to start the year, driven by our trust-led culture and our continued commitment to deliver value to the partners and people we serve. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eMegihvN

Trust is the AI advantage you can’t buy. In the race to deploy AI, most companies focus on models, data and integrations, but the real differentiator is what’s already in place: a culture of trust and accountability. In his recent Fortune opinion piece, Synchrony CEO Brian Doubles shares why trust is the engine of true innovation. It’s also why being named the #1 Great Place to Work in the U.S. matters. High-trust cultures move faster, experiment more and use AI with better judgement. Read more in our latest Up Next newsletter.

72% of U.S. adults say that they’d be further ahead today financially if they’d had personal finance class in high school, according to the Financial Literacy Crisis in America: 2023 Report. That stat is exactly why Synchrony is committed to providing educators around the country with the resources to equip young people with financial literacy skills. But for those who didn’t have those same opportunities, it’s never too late to take control. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your financial skills, Synchrony’s “Young, Wealthy and Wise” e-book is a free resource that breaks down the essentials: budgeting, saving, navigating the digital financial world and building the kind of wealth that lasts.

Our employees are celebrating #FinancialLiteracyMonth all month long at Synchrony. Last week, employees from our Chicago office came together to build financial confidence and share practical money skills. We welcomed more than 50 students from our nonprofit partners, HSF Chicago Scholars and ALPFA Chicago, for lessons on personal finance, a conversation on why credit matters, and a speed networking session.
