Features and Benefits
Do you have a money management, credit or debt question? A Community Advantage financial counselor is available to assist you Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (EST), Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. by calling 1-866-MYBANK9 (692-2659).

Want to control your money instead of having your money control you? This easy-to-use software tool uses simple graphics, "pop-up" boxes and bar charts to help you manage your money more effectively. You can use the program to:
- Establish a budget
- Track spending
- View tips for improving areas of overspending or inadequate saving
- Experiment with "what if" scenarios to determine how a major purchase or change in income would impact your budget.
- MBT login permissions are pre-loaded so you can simply click to download budgeting software!
Especially geared toward individuals just starting out with a checking account or who have had difficulty managing a checking account in the past, CheckRight is a web-based checking account management education module designed to teach you how to manage a checking account.

Personal financial and credit counseling is offered free to MBT customers. Counselors are employees of GreenPath Debt Solutions and not Monroe Bank & Trust. GreenPath is a not-for-profit counseling agency, affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and Accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Family and Childrens’ Services. GreenPath has also been a HUD approved housing counseling agency since 1968. Although recurrent financial and credit counseling is free, an individual's adoption of a GreenPath creditor negotiated debt management plan may include State-approved fees based upon the amount of debt managed and the client’s ability to pay. GreenPath Debt Solutions is solely responsible for the appropriateness of the personal counseling offered by its employees and the accuracy of its software solutions.
