NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz encouraged credit unions on Wednesday to help their members become smarter consumers during National Financial Literacy Month in April.
"Advancing financial literacy is a top priority for the NCUA, and it's a core mission for credit unions," Matz said. "While consumer education is a year-round effort, Financial Literacy Month is a good reminder about the importance of learning how to manage money and build financial security. Credit unions should use this month to help their members become smarter consumers."
The NCUA is hosting a free webinar on April 3 called, "Financial Literacy: Putting Your Mission into Action" and a twitter chat focused on financial literacy on April 23 from 11 a.m. until noon. Kenneth Worthey, financial literacy and outreach analyst at the NCUA's Office of Consumer Protection, will host the twitter event. Participants can submit questions ahead of time to [email protected].
