The bank will participate in the seventh annual Get Smart About Credit Day on October 15, 2009.

"The recent economic downturn has created an entirely new credit reality for everyone, and at S&T Bank, we know it is important for young people to learn important lessons early," said Todd Brice, president and CEO of S&T Bank. "Moreover, recently passed laws have created new mandates for these young people as they become adults and begin establishing credit. They need to know what to expect."

Signed into law in May of this year, the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 requires consumers under 21 to have a co-signer or prove that they have the financial means to repay a loan. The law takes effect in February 2010.

Established in 2003 by the American Bankers Association (ABA) Education Foundation, the Get Smart About Credit Day has turned 11,000 bankers across the nation into instructors for a day. Those banking professionals have reached nearly half a million school students with important lessons about credit.
