This System Brief describes the credit union financial literacy project. It explains the five criteria that were chosen to determine best practices, namely, targeted, interactive, accessible, scalable, and effective. Based on the analysis that came from a scan of over 60 programs, the research highlights eight programs and approaches that hold great potential for improving credit unions’ financial literacy offerings to their members and that can be implemented on a broader scale through the system.
