The North Carolina Financial Literacy Council (FLC) was established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 2009.  The FLC, housed within the North Carolina Department of Justice, is responsible for helping to deliver financial literacy education and increase financial literacy among North Carolinians.

The purpose of the FLC is to monitor and assist the Department of Public Instruction in the coordination of state-wide delivery of financial education within the public school system, shall identify programs designed to increase the financial literacy of North Carolinians outside the public school system, and shall work to expand access to financial education resouces and programs in communities across North Carolina.

Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) is a federally chartered organization made up of more than 24 Federal entities that are coordinating and collaborating to strengthen financial capability and increase access to financial services for all Americans. The Commission was established by the Financial Literacy and Education Improvement Act, Title V of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-159).

NCUA works to reinforce credit union efforts, raise consumer awareness and increase access to credit union services. The NCUA also participates in national financial literacy initiatives, including the Financial Literacy and Education Commission, an interagency group created by Congress to improve the nation's financial literacy and education.
