Did you know that April is National Financial Literacy Month?
Financial Literacy Month is dedicated to educating people on the importance of financial health so they can make better financial decisions and improve their financial well-being.
You may ask yourself, “Why is financial literacy important?”
Unfortunately, 4 in 7 Americans are financially illiterate. Globally, only 1/3 of adults understand basic finances.
When you have the knowledge of how to earn, spend, save, invest, borrow, and protect your money, you can build a stable financial future.
At Triangle Credit Union, we want our members and our community to be educated and empowered when making financial decisions—big or small.
That is why we created Triangle University.
TriangleUniversity is the dedicated hub of our financial education content such as the Triangle Credit Union blog, the Making Money Personal Podcast, and the Triangle Credit Union YouTube channel. Throughout the year, we host webinars for different financial topics such as budgeting and paying down debt payoff. We also host in-person seminars for some topics in Spanish for our members who prefer the information in Spanish.
Triangle Credit Union Blog
The TCU blog is updated weekly and covers topics such as Debt Management, Fraud Awareness & Protection, Homeownership, Wealth Management, and more! We also highlight current events that can affect your finances and provide insight into how you can overcome these challenges.

Our podcast covers a lot of information—from running your own business to talking to your partner about a budget! We focus on fun and relevant financial topics and provide you with resources to help you make financial decisions. The Making Money Personal Podcast talks about the impact that money has on your personal and professional life. Our podcast examines trends and topics with support from industry professionals.
