FoolProof Mission


Our Credit Union Mission:


Helping credit unions create loyal members while lowering marketing costs and workloads.

 

  • Our programs are all web-driven, highly interactive, and turnkey. We do the work, you get the credit.
  • Because the FoolProof programs have a reputation for true consumer advocacy, local media normally promotes their use by both members and non-members.
  • We believe in rapid response. Ask any FoolProof credit union about working with us.

 


Our Consumer Mission:


Helping consumers safely navigate the free enterprise system.

 

Knowing how to balance your account is important. But it is more important to know how to pick the right financial institution.

Saving money is important. But knowing how to find the right savings instrument is more important.

Being told to pay your credit card bill on time is important. But its much more important to learn how to find a good credit card among the legend of bad cards.

FoolProof presents the big picture to consumers, and then presents the details. Virtually all of our programs adhere to what we call the FoolProof Pyramid:

 

Consumer Advocacy Pyramid
 First, learn to question everybody and every company that is trying to sell you something. The free enterprise system demands that you think critically. For instance, pay attention to the fine print, not the headline.

Second, learn the skills necessary to wisely acquire and use any financial tool (a loan, a credit card, an investment account).

Third, Slow Down. Speed isn’t good for your pocketbook.

Fourth, save. Consistently.

What we stand for:

1) Real financial literacy & consumer information for all.
2) No hype or commercials, no hidden agendas.
3) Online, interactive learning.
4) Innovation in consumer education.
5) Peer-to-peer communication.
6) Response in hours to our credit unions' problems.
