About the Road Show

The Face Your Finances Road Show Celebrates 75 Years of Service to
American Consumers

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to consumers, FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair launched the Face Your Finances road show. The initiative was announced on June 16, 2008, at the anniversary launch in Washington, D.C. Chairman Bair traveled to Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Kansas City and New York City. In each city, she met with community leaders to discuss deposit insurance, what it means to be an FDIC-insured institution, the costs and benefits of banking services, and the consumer protections resulting from federal regulation of the banking industry. Panel discussions also addressed bank services as they relate to building assets and accessing mainstream credit services, including mortgage loans.

The discussions were intended to elicit information that can be used in financial literacy initiatives and informational materials.
