As non-profit financial institutions, credit unions have played a critical financial education role in many communities across the country - often for generations.
MoneyEdu is designed to help you achieve your credit union's financial education goals in ways that weren't possible before. MoneyEdu allows you to reach more members, have a greater impact in your community, and accurately measure the results of your program.
MoneyEdu is different because we see the potential in what you do every single day. Almost any interaction you have with a member can be a teachable moment for financial literacy, promoting financial responsibility, and even for saving members money with your non-profit services. But in today's sea of financial information, how can your credit union stay relevant?
That's where we come in.
The product of over a decade's experience in delivering online financial education and a three-year pilot program with some of the nation's most innovative credit unions, MoneyEdu was built from the ground up to give members the best financial education experience available anywhere. Whether your credit union has one branch or one-hundred, MoneyEdu gives you the same financial education technology that's trusted by some of the largest states, universities, and financial institutions in the country - ours.
There are five pillars to MoneyEdu:
MoneyEdu is ready to use right now, with no set up or IT requirements on your end.
MoneyEdu is produced by Decision Partners, a pioneer in online financial education. Since launching the world's first online financial literacy course over a decade ago, Decision Partners has delivered millions of assignments nationwide.
Decision Partners started exploring credit union services in 2009 after learning of an innovative financial counseling / auto buying service operated by Unitus Credit Union in Portland, Oregon. Unitus played a key role in showing us how lending and education could not only coexist, but thrive together.
MoneyEdu's credit union program was "soft launched" in 2012 with Generations Federal Credit Union and our Financial Literacy 101 program. Aplus Federal Credit Union joined in 2013 with both MoneyEdu and Financial Literacy 101. Since then, over 40,000 individuals have completed courses through their sponsorship.
Now we bring you MoneyEdu - representing the best of everything we've learned about real-world financial education.
We look forward to working with you.
How you implement MoneyEdu is up to you - your program can be restricted to certain members or could scale to thousands of individuals in your community. Here are a few ideas:
MoneyEdu is perfect for building a financial responsible culture, from employee onboarding to periodic financial training. Wouldn't it be great if every employee offered consistent answers to common questions?
From complete courses to quick financial assessments, MoneyEdu helps members make tangible financial progress with every log in. Members can opt-in to a weekly branded, customized This Week financial education email.
Schools, faith-based organizations, and other community groups can use MoneyEdu to fulfill their financial education goals. With our Classrooms system, their implementation is completely customizable and self-service.
Customizable MoneyEdu courses are ideal as requirements for second-chance checking programs, first-time auto loans, and other services for those who may have experienced a financial setback. Use MoneyEdu's communication tools for high-touch programs.
Build deeper engagement with members - and potential members - by promoting MoneyEdu content that's embedded directly into your website. Don't let your "links" to third-party financial websites become "leads" for the companies that advertise there.
Build relationships with local businesses by offering them the same financial education tools you use for your members and employees - MoneyEdu. With complete participation tracking, HR departments can help employees make better personal and business financial decisions.
Decision Partners is committed to working with all credit unions, regardless of size or budget.
