This back-to-school drive comes on the heels of the success of Savage’s national Bank Account at HomeExtension of this Financial Literacy Campaign which originally launched in March of 2018 with educational non-profit organization Get Schooled. Due to the impact of Covid-19, 21 Savage took his successful campaign online by launching his national “Bank Account at Home” Chime X 21 Savage initiative launched in July 2020, offering free financial literacy lessons to youth nationwide in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.chime.com/21savage/.
