Maryland & DC Credit Union Association: FoolProof in Maryland and DC

What does FoolProof cost?


Big news: Prices go up April 15th, 2010.

PricingAll FoolProof programs come in a standard and a custom version.

FoolProof Standard contains all of the information of a custom version, but does not have specific links back to your individual credit union’s products and services.

FoolProof Custom provides your credit union links in all FoolProof programs back to your credit union. For instance, if an article discusses joining a credit union, that article links back to your individual credit union’s membership area.

Length of Lease:  Standard or custom, your initial lease period is for three years.  After that, the lease renews yearly, and you may discontinue it at any time with ninety days notice.  Your lease renews based on your credit union’s asset size in the last call report.

  1. For the "standard" price, a participating credit union receives two financial education programs:

    You receive "CUHQ," a year-round, turnkey youth website on financial literacy and consumer issues.

    You also receive one or more of the following programs:

    • Information Edge, a year-round consumer education website for adult members.
    • FoolProof Solo, a web-driven financial literacy program for college-age young people.
    • FoolProof for Parents and Grandparents, a web-driven financial literacy program for adults to use with their children and grandchildren.
    • FoolProof for High Schools, web-driven classroom financial literacy instruction for high schools, community centers, technical schools, youth groups. Standard pricing allows you to sign up 25 entities. Additional entities cost $50 per entity. Custom pricing allows unlimited entities.

    Also available: FoolProof WorkPlace Financial Modules. Web-driven classroom instruction for young people who enter the workplace directly from high school and for other entry-level workers who don’t have a basic grounding in financial literacy.

    (Pricing is separate from full suite, please see details below.)
