Wanting to help its members between the ages of 17 and 25 become more financially savvy, Pentagon Federal Credit Union and the PenFed Foundation have teamed up with MoneyU.

MoneyU is a self-paced financial education game that covers essential financial skills, such as understanding a cardholder agreement, comparing car loans and creating a budget, in a fun and interactive way.
