Financial Literacy tool kit

Help senior citizens get more control over their money by including Go Direct in your financial literacy presentations or workshops. It's as easy as adding a slide to your presentation or handing out an information sheet or flier.

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. The latest version of Money Smart includes information about signing up for direct deposit through Go Direct.
