Office of Financial Readiness
The Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Financial Readiness (FINRED), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) have developed a digital toolkit with curated content to inform servicemembers and families about consumer scams and protections.
Military Consumer
Military Consumer is a joint initiative that seeks to empower active duty and retired servicemembers, military families, veterans and civilians in the military community. The website has free resources for servicemembers to help protect them against fraud and make better-informed decisions when managing their money.
Federal Trade Commision
No matter what stage of military life a person is going through, they could encounter an imposter scam: someone pretending to be their bank’s fraud department, the government, a relative in distress, a well-known business, or a technical support expert. These resources can help consumers learn how to protect themselves and the people they care about.
MilLife Learning
The Military One Source MilLife Learning website has self-directed courses and useful information on quality-of-life tropics for military families and service providers who support them. Topics cover financial readiness, saving, spending, understanding consumer credit, investing, and much more.
