National Consumer Protection Week is a nationally coordinated campaign made up of federal, state and local agencies, consumer groups and national advocacy organizations. The focus is to inform Americans of their consumer rights while providing access to consumer-related resources, which are available at no charge. The NCUA is a national partner of this annual event.
During National Consumer Protection Week, consumers can also find and share additional tips and best practices on protecting their financial well-being on the NCUA’s Facebook (opens new window) and Twitter (opens new window) sites.
Under the Federal Credit Union Act, promoting financial literacy is a core credit union mission. While credit unions serve the needs of their members and promote financial literacy within the communities they serve, the NCUA works to reinforce credit union efforts, raise consumer awareness and increase access to credit union services. The NCUA also participates in national financial literacy initiatives, including the Financial Literacy and Education Commission, an interagency group created by Congress to improve the nation’s financial literacy and education.
