DURHAM, N.C. — Zogo Finance launched 5 new partnerships in December 2020, another sign of growth for the financial literacy company based in Durham, North Carolina. With the 5 new partnerships, the company now has a total of 75 partnerships with financial institutions across 36 states in the U.S. 

“Zogo is really excited about wrapping up the year with some new mission-aligned partners,“ said Louden Richason, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Zogo. “Together we will bring accessible, engaging financial education to communities across the United States, and we’re looking forward to more growth in 2021.”

Some of these new partners include:

• Centra Credit Union
• Heartland Credit Union
• Tongass Federal Credit Union
• Canopy Credit Union

Since launching in November 2019, Zogo’s gamified financial literacy app has gained over 100,000 users who have completed over 2,000,000 of the app’s bite-sized lessons in personal finance. As users progress through the app, they earn points — in the form of virtual pineapples — that can be redeemed for real-life rewards such as Starbucks, Amazon, and Walmart gift cards.

“Financial literacy is especially important in the environment we are currently living in,” said Richason. “These new partnerships will provide more young people with a gamified tool that makes finance fun, simple, and social.”
