Resources
Financial Education
Resources to help you improve your financial IQ.
Credit Basics
You’re just getting started in life. You have big dreams for the future, some of which – like a car, a house or more schooling – cost more money than you have right now. Credit is a tool that can help you achieve those financial goals. Learn how to get off on the right foot and make smart choices about credit.
Budgeting Basics
Things happen fast in college. New classes. New friends. New interests and opportunities. That’s all the more reason you may want to think about using a budget. Get practical advice on how to manage your money today, which is an important step to a strong financial future.
Identity Protection
Identity theft is a serious crime that can have lasting effects on its victims. And, unfortunately, as a young adult, you may be at a greater risk of ID theft because you have little or no credit history and you may not know how to protect yourself. Discover how identity theft happens, and learn what actions you can take to prevent criminals from assuming your identity.
Planning for College
Making smart decisions before you borrow for college will help you in the future. PNC offers multiple resources for plotting out how you’ll pay for your education.
