The FDIC in 2001 started the Money Smart Financial Education Curriculum after the institution recognized a need to supply information to individuals with little or no banking experience. The curriculum was designed to educate consumers on money matters, help them develop banking confidence and ensure financial stability.

The FDIC has reached more than 2.5 million consumers with its Money Smart Curriculum since the program’s launch nearly a decade ago. The newly enhanced program curriculum now includes amendments made as a result of the Financial Reform being signed into law such as the ability to opt-out of overdraft protection. The FDIC also added a new section titled “Financial Recovery” that provides a guide on how to bounce back after a financial setback.
