"At Fifth Third, we believe that financial empowerment is an important first step in helping to transform lives and communities,” said Kala Gibson, chief corporate responsibility officer. "Fifth Third’s eBus delivers financial tools and resources to communities that may not have easy access to such resources. This is part of our commitment to build strong communities and to keep customers at the center of everything we do."

For 2024, the eBus has been reimagined to offer enhanced experiences including immediate checking account opening, face-to-face consultation pods for private conversations, and access to credit counseling and community social service agencies. Fifth Third has partnered with community organizations to bring the eBus to areas that may not have access to not only financial education resources, but statewide and national financial wellness resources as well.

Since early May, the eBus has traveled to more than a dozen communities across Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. The eBus will return to Ohio in early August for a statewide tour, with stops planned across the Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland regions.

The increased offerings of the eBus include the services of SpringFour, a leading financial health fintech, that connects visitors to more than 24,000 free local, statewide and national financial wellness resources from nonprofit and government agencies.

Through its digital self-service financial wellness solution, community members can access support in 14 categories including food savings, rental resources, childcare, employment services, small business support and more:

  • Visitors enter their zip code and search for assistance in the specific category where assistance is required.
  • SpringFour provides instant, localized results for human and social services organizations.
  • Through the collaboration, the Bank and SpringFour will provide tablets on the eBus for visitors to access the service or give instructions for use on personal mobile devices.
