ALEXANDRIA, Va.—NCUA and the Federal Trade Commission are teaming up for a live Twitter chat intended to help servicemembers, veterans and their families become more informed consumers.
The live chat (#NCUAChat) is scheduled for Wednesday, July 27, beginning at 11 a.m. ET.
Kenneth Worthey, a financial literacy and outreach analyst with NCUA’s Office of Consumer Protection, and FTC staff will discuss how servicemembers can protect themselves and their families from payday, auto and student loan predatory lending.
During the chat, NCUA and FTC will also share resources from their consumer sites, MyCreditUnion.gov and Just for You: Military Families.
NCUA said credit unions and consumers are encouraged to follow @MyCUgov on Twitter and contribute to the conversation using the #NCUAChat hashtag. Participants may submit questions in advance to socialmedia@ncua.gov.
