ZOGO is a program that helps you learn and earn.  This program is not just for students or adults but anyone willing to learn more about Personal Finance.  This app gives  “bite-sized lessons on finance.”  Modules are prepared to increase your learning about financial topics, from building wealth to investing in companies.

“A game app allows users to receive bite-size information about topics like

loans, credit reporting, get information and earn pineapples.  The more pineapples, the more gift cards one can earn.”

Shannon Huot, Chief Experience Officer at Educator Credit Union

Huot says there is no limit to the number of games one can play.  There are 600 modules, so the ZoGo App is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

“There are always trying to refresh the content, add more content.  It is an ever-evolving platform.”

Chief Officer Huot

Huot added, “Gift cards come from a separate company.  We help sponsor them like Amazon, Nike, and Fast Food.”

ZOGO is for all students and the community who want to improve their financial skills.  Topics include “Start investing, go to college, get a job, and others.”  

A sample question says:

Which is more likely to return greater profits in the long run, saving or investing?

ZOGO APP

One must be a member because a member code is required to access the game. Member Codes are subject to district areas.   However, at local, public, or private schools, students do not have to be a member if they are working with an advisor.  As long as they participate in class, students are given a code during that learning time.

“If students are interested in opening an Educators account, the charge is $5.00 for a prime share-savings account.  The student must be at least 13 years of age and have a current form of ID or School ID.  A School ID is acceptable as long as it’s in the current school year.”

Chief Officer Huot

A Checking account is also available, depending on the child’s age.  The fees are waived for the students, so they just pay $5.00.

Depending on their age, they can get a debit card with their checking account.
