Here at the CFPB, we wish every week could be Money Smart Week! Our goal is to arm people with the information, steps, and tools that they need to make informed financial decisions for their personal situation and goals.
From setting up a bank account to taking out a student loan, we know it’s helpful to have trustworthy resources available as you navigate important money decisions.
