American Metro Bank (AMB) was pleased to participate in Money Smart Week Chicago 2007. This years Money Smart Week Chicago took place from April 30th through May 5th. There were hundreds of free events and a Money Smart Kid Essay Contest.
On Saturday, 05 May 2007, AMB presented “Su Casa Propia, Pasos para su propia casa y su retiro” (Your Own Home, Steps to purchasing your own home and saving for your retirement) at the Cristo Rey Mission located at 2514 W. Thorndale Avenue in Chicago. The course was presented in Spanish by Loan Officers from AMB. Attendees learned about the benefits and pitfalls of renting versus owning; how to determine their readiness to buy a home, different mortgage programs, and basic mortgage terminology. As a result of the positive response and demand for additional programming, American Metro Bank intends to hold a weekly series of financial education courses.
Money Smart Week began as a coordinated effort of the Money Smart Advisory Council, a diverse group of more than 40 Chicago-area organizations working together to promote personal financial literacy.
Every year, a growing number of community groups, financial institutions, government agencies, educational organizations, and financial experts work together to offer presentations and workshops designed to help consumers learn to better manage their personal finances and to inform them of the resources available to them. Today, Money Smart Week is much broader in scope than when it began five years ago and continues to expand, creating new partnerships, heightened exposure, and substantive events.
This Money Smart Week model has grown beyond Chicago with three successful campaigns in Michigan conducted by the Detroit Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and with first-time Money Smart Week efforts in both Indiana and Wisconsin during October of 2006. Iowa and Peoria are each planning their first Money Smart Week in 2007. American Metro Bank is pleased to participate in this effort.

Immigrant Individual Taxpayer ID Numbers
American Metro Bank is pleased to announce its recent authorization as a "Certifying Acceptance Agent" by the U.S. Department of Treasury. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, American Metro Bank can now expedite the issuance of Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) to immigrants who do not have social security numbers for tax compliance purposes also allowing such customers to open interest bearing accounts. American Metro Bank is the second bank in the Chicagoland area to be given such authorization.
American Metro Bank estimates that it will be able to serve hundreds of previously un-banked immigrants after obtaining their ITIN. The Chinatown branch, which opened on April 1, 2002, as well as the main bank in Uptown, were both authorized as Certifying Acceptance Agents.
