“Throughout the United States, people unfamiliar with our financial marketplace are more likely to fall prey to frauds and schemes. Low English literacy can make it even harder to manage money safely and effectively on a day-to-day basis. To help, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) developed a series of guides that provide information about various money matters. The following are among the topics the guides cover:

• How to receive wages and payment for working
• How to open a bank account
• How to pay bills
• How to shop for a mortgage
• How to select financial services and products
• Information on how to submit a complaint about a problem with a financial product or service
