FoolProof is about consumer advocacy, not marketing.

Judge FoolProof by Our Messages and Our Partners.


The FoolProof Initiative is funded by the participation of credit unions. Our partners include individual credit unions, the not-for-profit Council For Credit Union Education, Inc., and Credit Union Strategic Partners.

We believe good credit unions operate uniquely in the consumer environment. Their approach is normally more consumer-oriented rather than sales oriented, and we are proud of our credit union relationships.

But FoolProof’s consumer messages are developed solely by FoolProof. We are consumer advocates, not marketers. At times, we say things even credit unions don’t like.
