  • Mission [1]
    • One of the goals of the Department of the Treasury is to strengthen every aspect of the financial system. That means not only strong reforms and consumer protections, but also improved financial capability. The Obama Administration is committed to expanding the financial tools and education available to every American to help ensure that families are more secure for their financial futures. Whether it’s homeownership, personal savings, or retirement planning, the financial well-being of every household can impact its community - and the financial well-being of the United States’ communities is critical to national financial stability. The President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability will advise the President and the Secretary of the Treasury on means to promote financial capability among the American people, and thereby contribute to financial stability.
