Financial resources to help your members
ALEXANDRIA, VA (August 24, 2023) — The National Credit Union Administration has released new resources that credit unions can use in their financial education programs for online training and in-person workshops, as well as social media engagement. These resources can also be printed and made available to credit union members and consumers to help them take charge of their finances and feel more empowered about their financial futures.
Resources:
- How to Develop a Financial Education Program: A digital brochure describing how to get started developing strong and sustainable financial education programs.
