Fifth Third’s Financial Empowerment Mobile Begins New Season of Supporting Communities with SpringFour’s Financial Health Resources and Reimagined Experience
Fifth Third’s Financial Empowerment Mobile, commonly known as the eBus, brings financial access and education directly into communities, especially underserved areas. For 2024, the eBus has been reimagined to offer enhanced experiences including immediate checking account opening, face-to-face consultation pods for private conversations, computer workstations for guests and broader services.
“At Fifth Third, we believe that lives are improved when people have the knowledge and tools to make wise financial decisions. With the eBus, we deliver financial tools and resources to communities that may not have easy access to such resources,” said Kala Gibson, chief corporate responsibility officer. “This is part of our commitment to build strong communities and our focus to keep customers at the center of everything we do.”
The increased offerings of the eBus include the services of SpringFour, a leading social impact financial wellness 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.
The eBus begins its 2024 tour with a 20-day trip through Ohio – May 3 through May 31. For a complete schedule, click here.

It’s great for communities and great for business, and we’re excited to work with Fifth Third to help the people they serve improve their financial health,” said Rochelle Nawrocki Gorey, SpringFour founder and CEO.
