MADISON, Wis. — CUNA has recently launched a new line of “quick read” lobby brochures to complement its statement stuffer line.

The new brochures are printed on heavier paper stock and designed for a coordinated credit union lobby display, but they are also sized to fit in an envelope.

The first three in the series based on CUNA's most popular stuffer topics include Stop Identity Theft, which offers tips to prevent or recover from identity theft, with important phone numbers and Web sites for help and information; Phishing: Stay Off the Hook, which provides an online to-do list to help members be savvy Internet users with the ability to conduct safe transactions online; and Protect Your Plastic Cards, which gives tips on the smart ways to use your credit and debit cards at home, on the computer, and at stores.

In addition, a new drive-up envelope was also created for credit union members. What to Do When Your ARM is Due explains the three options available when an adjustable rate mortgage is coming due for adjustment. It also encourages members to seek loan advice and help from their credit unions.

Your College Savings Answers handbook-CUNA's guide to help students, parents, and grandparents fund the rising cost of college-was revised with updated statistics, tables, and photos. The book covers a variety of savings plans and accounts, investment options, loans, grants, and other aids in an easy-to-understand format.

It is part of a seven-booklet “Fundamentals of Personal Finance” series to educate members about common financial topics, which also includes: insurance, investment, retirement, budgeting, home ownership, and vehicle buying.
