What is Money Mission?

Money Mission is an online simulation that

teaches life money management skills. The

game is available to play through TACU

Credit Union. Teens create an avatar and

live, work and make real life financial

decisions in the game’s simulated village,

Mission Heights. Money Mission gives youth

an opportunity to consider the financial

obligations they face and how they will deal

with them in real life.

Why is Money Mission Important?

This is the only free financial literacy tool

that fulfills the need for financial education

within an interactive competitive gaming

environment. It also rewards college bound

seniors with college scholarships.

NEED HELP WITH TAXES?

There will be a Tax Table in the

TACU lobby with any forms you may need and some helpful

pointers!

Look for this banner! Sign up for Money Mission at www.tacuonline.com

It’s free, and a fun way to learn!

Common Sense Credit TACU Credit Cards work for you! In 2009, the government issued the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and

Disclosure Act to make other financial institutions do what TACU Credit Union was

doing all along—operating in the consumers' best interest.

According to the New York Times, credit union credit cards are the ones other credit

card providers should emulate. So, why are you carrying around those other credit

cards from issuers who mismanaged your trust?

Call TACU today at 608-372-4736 and we'll get you started on a credit card that

already has:

Low interest rates (TACU’s Standard MasterCard has a low rate of 9%)

No annual fee

Reasonable grace periods (25 days)

Great member service
