In observance of National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), March 3–9, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today unveiled new resources to help consumers understand their rights and make well-informed decisions about money.
The FDIC has added a new, online Information and Support Center to the agency’s existing educational resources. Consumers can use the Center to easily check the status of inquiries or complaints they have made about a financial institution. Also included is a new FDIC Knowledge Center, which provides easy-to-find answers to questions about banking and lending.
During NCPW, the FDIC also will be posting on its Twitter feed (@FDICgov). The tweets will include some of the Knowledge Center’s questions and answers each weekday (starting March 4).
In addition, the FDIC will be posting a quiz that consumers can use year-round to test their knowledge of money management.
The FDIC is proud to join other state and federal agencies in observing National Consumer Protection Week.
