We love this ??! Thank you Mel Bride for the opportunity to be a part of the magic. ??

We were thrilled to have our founder and CEO, Marcy Reyes, MSF, AFC?, join the GLC Camp as part of the 'Game Changer Speaker Series'! ?? It was a lively session where Marcy introduced our favorite "Skittles Banking" game ??, making learning about simple and compound interest fun and engaging. Seeing these bright young campers already using apps like Greenlight Banking and Stockpile to work toward their financial goals is inspiring! They walked away with valuable knowledge, proving that it's never too early—or too late—to take control of your financial future. ?? We're proud to support the next generation of investors and future leaders.
