MAYS LANDING – Continuing its financial literacy program, Department of Banking and Insurance Commissioner Ken Kobylowski conducted a presentation for college students at Atlantic Cape May Community College today. He discussed financial issues such as college-issued debit cards, credit cards, life and health insurance and student loans. He also reviewed basic financial literacy principles, such as setting a budget and how to shop for banking services.

“When college students get to campus they are asked to make financial decisions that can have an impact as lasting as the major they choose and the careers they explore,” said Commissioner Kobylowski. “When college students set budgets and spend within them, select a low-cost bank account and manage their debt wisely, they set the tone for a strong financial foundation throughout life.”

Today’s presentation was part of the Department’s ongoing financial literacy program, which was launched in 2006 with programs for high school students and expanded in 2012 to include programs for college students and senior citizens. Commissioner Kobylowski led a presentation for high school students at Absegami High School in Galloway on Tuesday of this week. Last month, he led a presentation for senior citizens in Cherry Hill.
