Jennifer Hudson, Credit One Team on Personal Finance Game
Credit One Bank is partnering with an Oscar winner to launch a financial education tool.
About Cards on the Table (and Jennifer Hudson’s Involvement):
With March being Credit Education Month, Credit One has teamed up with talk show host, American Idol contestant, and EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson to roll out a new financial literacy game. Called Cards on the Table, this free activity shares financial tips and fun facts, while also promoting conversation and further research. Some of the topics covered in the game include “The Power of AutoPay,” financial terms, credit strategy thoughts, and more.
Cards on the Table can be downloaded for free from the Credit One site. With this PDF, users can print and cut the cards. Additionally, the file includes instructions for gameplay and some additional resources.
For every download the game receives, Credit One will donate $50 to Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. While that part of the gift is capped at $10,000, the bank will also be donating $40,000 to the organization in honor of Credit Education Month.
The new Cards on the Table game joins other financial literacy efforts on the part of Credit One. In 2025, the bank introduced its Credit Wreckers campaign, which highlighted some common credit mistakes in the form of colorful monsters.
What They’re Saying:
Commenting on the Cards on the Table game and working with Credit One, Hudson said, “Credit education is not often taught in school. And as a mother and advocate of financial literacy, I believe we need to educate the next generation, especially when it comes to understanding how credit works and the importance of using it wisely. That’s what Credit One Bank’s Cards on the Table is all about.”
Meanwhile, Credit One’s SVP of Brand and Advertising Amber Greenwalt stated, “At Credit One Bank, we believe access to credit should go hand in hand with the education on how to use it responsibly. That’s the white space we’re proud to lead, combining access with credit education that is relatable, fun and engaging.”
My Thoughts:
Say what you will about Credit One (including their recent settlement with California District Attorneys over alleged unlawful debt collection calls), but I think this is another clever and fun financial literacy offering. Having looked through the cards, there’s some good info here — accompanied by several good resource links.
As for how many people will actually take the time to print out these cards and play the game… that remains to be seen. However, I think this could be a good tool for teaching your children about money, starting financial conversations with your significant other, or just doing some learning yourself.
