ALEXANDRIA, Va.-In a letter to credit unions (01-FCU-06), NCUA said that an FDIC-sponsored financial education program, called `Money Smart' is a good guide for credit unions to offer their members. Though the program is not credit union specific, because there are not copyright restrictions, it may be adapted to better suit credit unions and their members.

A brochure on the program is available at the FDIC's Web site (www.fdic.gov/news/ publications/moneysmart/index.html.
