Better U Financial Literacy Series

Westfield Bank is hosting 3 free financial literacy seminars throughout March, April, and May at 5 of our branch locations, for a total of 15 separate seminars. Learn how to manage your money effectively, save for important goals, and build a better life. All sessions are taught by our expert staff and include time for questions at the end.

While it is not required to attend all three sessions at a branch, each consecutive session does build off information and strategies discussed at prior sessions.

To RSVP, please call the branch you plan to attend the seminar(s) at. Registration is first come first serve and capped at the location's maximum capacity.
