Westbury credit union launches financial literacy site

Westbury-based credit union NEFCU last week launched CUShine -- a new website to help young adults with financial literacy.

The website, which features sections such as financial planning, tips to save and borrow, how to deal with student loans, is targeted toward those between the ages of 18 and 26.

CUShine's contents will be curated by students from Hofstra's Frank G. Zarb School of Business, who will blog about financial issues of interest to the younger generation, focusing on topics such as becoming financially independent, job searches, and planning a financially stable lifestyle.

The website can be accessed at www.cushine.org.
