ALEXANDRIA, Va.–Credit unions and their members can share ideas on saving money and building financial security during NCUA’s live Twitter chat on Tuesday, Feb. 16, beginning at 11 a.m. ET.
Credit unions and consumers can follow @MyCUgov and join the conversation using the #NCUAChat hashtag on Twitter. Participants can submit questions in advance to socialmedia@ncua.gov.
Kenneth Worthey, financial literacy and outreach analyst with NCUA’s Office of Consumer Protection, will be joined by staff from the Consumer Federation of America to discuss national savings rates, provide tips on developing healthy savings habits and identify resources to help maximize your savings.
The Twitter chat precedes America Saves and Military Saves Week, which both run Feb. 22–27. NCUA has online information about America Saves and Military Saves Week to help credit unions plan. Additional resources are available on NCUA’s consumer website, MyCreditUnion.gov, and the agency’s financial literacy site, Pocket Cents, including more information about saving, borrowing and managing credit. NCUA’s consumer Twitter feed, @MyCUgov, also offers personal finance tips covering a wide range of topics throughout the year. Credit unions may link to and use these resources.
America Saves Week and Military Saves Week are national campaigns that bring together government, nonprofits and companies to encourage individuals and families to save and build personal wealth.
