Astra Bank is excited to kick off a new recurring series called Astra VMP, which stands for Video Marketing Presentations. With the growing popularity of video on sites like YouTube, Facebook and others, we figured it would be a great idea to hop on the “video bandwagon” and use it for sharing many of the great things going on here at the bank.

Astra Bank is sponsoring Ramsey Solutions’ Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum for more than 330 students at seven schools across Kansas, including Abilene High School, Chapman High School, Hays High School, Republic County High School, Solomon High School, Sutton High School and Thomas More Prep Marian High School. Foundations in Personal Finance is the premier curriculum for teaching financial literacy to students.
