Solutions

• For Government
  You investigate complaints. You administer the laws of your state. You want to help your consumers and they need to receive the information from a non-commercial source. If you don’t provide the information to your constituents from your perspective, the industry will from theirs.
  
  We regulated the financial services industries for nearly a decade, and administered a financial literacy program while doing so. We know what it takes to reach your consumers and get them excited about saving, investing, and checking out the background of their financial services professional.
  
  We design and deliver the presentations and materials that your state’s citizens are asking for at a fraction of the cost. We currently work with Securities regulators in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington State to bring high impact investor education presentations to their citizens.
• For Financial Institutions
  Large scale financial education programs can be costly for a financial institutions to launch and deliver all on their own. Hiring and training a full time employee to administer the program, designing and producing the brochures, conducting pre and post testing to measure success and track the numbers… this can cost over $100,000 annually!
  
  A partnership between financial institutions and Consumer University makes a full time program an inexpensive reality! We specialize in efficiently delivering large scale financial and investor education programs at a fraction of your cost.
  
  Pre and Post testing showed an 11% increase in personal savings amongst teens who graduated a Consumer University program.
• For Employers
  Educating staff about how to manage their finances effectively is a productivity booster. No joke. Research shows that employees who are worried about their financial situation at home are less productive on the job.
  
  Consumer University can help by doing onsite presentations, seminars, classes, and even writing for your company newsletter or intranet. We’ll teach your employees steps they can take to save for retirement, manage their money, avoid debt, and raise their credit score.
