The NCUA Chairman Rodney E. Hood during his speech at the America Saves Summit in Washington, D.C., on November 6, 2019.
Promoting financial literacy is a core credit union mission. Consumers who have a strong foundation in personal finance are essential to a healthy credit union system. Informed consumers make better financial decisions and are able to fully utilize the products and services offered by federally insured credit unions.
The NCUA supports financial literacy and personal finance education efforts and participates in national financial literacy initiatives along with our governmental, private-sector, and non-profit partners.

Partnerships to Expand Access to Financial Education
The NCUA works in partnership with local, state, and federal government agencies; community organizations; and public-private entities to expand access to financial education, to reach those outside of the financial mainstream using fintech opportunities, and to develop new products and services that improve the financial well-being of all Americans.
