In recognition of National Financial Literacy Month, the FDIC invites you to a national webinar focused on how the Money Smart financial education program can help veterans and their families enhance financial skills and create positive banking relationships.
This webinar will highlight:
- Scam prevention resources, including content from Money Smart for Older Adults
- Youth financial education, featuring Money Smart for Young People, Money Smart for Young Adults, and the Guide to Organizing Reality Fairs
- Adult financial capability tools, including Money Smart for Adults and the How Money Smart Are You? self-paced learning platform

Attendees will learn about research showing how Money Smart improves financial behaviors like budgeting and saving. Bankers can also explore how using these financial education tools may support activities under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
For nearly 25 years, FDIC Money Smart has provided free, non-copyrighted, high-quality resources for banks, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to empower people with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed financial decisions.
