Cabarrus Bank and Trust Donates Money to Educators

Cabarrus Bank & Trust, committed to local community support, continued their Educator's Gift Program for Cabarrus County Schools' teachers and staff by donating $1,000 to Cabarrus County Schools for their participation. By taking part in the Educator's Gift, the teacher or staff chooses the school to which they would like their $1 monthly service charge donated.

Educators, with Educator's Gift Account, can access their account, transfer funds and pay bills at their convenience, with Internet Banking and Online-Bill pay 24-7. Coupled with Direct Deposit, teachers and staff can manage all of their finances from the comfort of their home. Those paid on a 10-month cycle can elect "Paycheck Stretch," which helps manage funds for the full 12 months, while earning competitive rates. Cabarrus Bank & Trust has committed to donate as much as $40,000 to Cabarrus County Schools if 90% teachers and staff participate in the Educator's Gift Program.

"By doing business with Cabarrus Bank & Trust you are making a difference today and creating a better tomorrow for everyone in the community," said Pat Horton, CEO. "We want to keep your local dollars working in Cabarrus County to create jobs and new industry. With your support, we are able to give back to the community and also encourage our associates to volunteer in the Cabarrus County Schools by tutoring, reading to a class and teaching students about financial responsibility."
