UW Credit Union and Bronco Federal Credit Union are the latest to help consumers get their Debt in Focus.
Created by the Filene Research Institute, Debt in Focus is a free, anonymous Web-based debt education tool designed to help people better understand their current financial situations.
Here is how it works. Consumers input information regarding their income and current debt. They are then provided a summary of their debt-to-income ratios and an estimated budget. In addition, a personal action strategy is generated to help them reduce their debt or get in a better financial position.

The credit unions are among the first group of institutions to pilot the program, which will eventually be made available to credit unions across the country.
Credit union members and any consumers are encouraged to provide feedback regarding its usability and effectiveness.
