As the Cost of Living Increases, Increase Your Credit Union’s Certified Financial Counselors in 2026

About half of all Americans say the cost of groceries is a major source of stress in their life,  according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research

While we can’t magically fix the economy, we can give members tools to help stretch their dollar. Your credit union is invited to register for the Tennessee Credit Union League’s 2026 Enhanced Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP). Through this program, your team can help your members improve their financial well-being.

In partnership with Luminate Louisiana Credit Unions, you can be ready to pass America’s Credit Unions’ certification exam with ease through the Enhanced Certified Financial Counselor Program. Through this eight-course program, you’ll gain access to supplemental webinars, study guides, instructor led zoom check-ins, exam prep sessions and much more!
