Financial Literacy

Highlights the Importance of Education

Educated consumers are better-prepared to build financial security and protect themselves from scams, and the National Credit Union Administration encourages credit unions to continue helping our members better understand personal financial matters.

Members who have a strong foundation in personal finance are essential to a healthy credit union system. NCUA offers an array of financial literacy education resources on its consumer website,

MyCreditUnion.gov

The agency also has a consumer Twitter feed, @MyCUgov, that offers up-to-date information about saving, borrowing, managing credit, and avoiding frauds and scams. Most resources on MyCreditUnion.gov are available in English and Spanish.
