Financial Literacy tool kit

Help senior citizens and people with disabilities get more control over their money by including information on the Go Direct® campaign and the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card in your financial literacy presentations or workshops. It's as easy as adding a few slides to your presentation or handing out a free brochure or pamphlet.

If you don't yet have a financial literacy curriculum, consider adopting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Money Smart program – a free training program to help adults enhance their money skills and create positive banking relationships.
