Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Financial Terms Glossary
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Financial Terms Glossary gathers the financial vocabulary used in the Bureau's youth financial education materials, published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a United States government agency. The entries run from A to Z, each term given a plain definition and, where it helps, an example, and the same glossary is offered as a PDF.
100% Free (unlimited): The whole glossary sits on the page, every letter and every definition, with no account, no email address and no payment, and the PDF version downloads the same way. It is published by a United States government agency, so it may be read, printed and given to a class exactly as it stands.
How It Helps Your Business English
An A to Z glossary of the financial terms used in the Bureau's classroom activities, each with a plain definition. It runs from 529 plan, APR and asset through collateral, compound interest, credit score and FAFSA to overdraft, prepaid card fees, tariff and withholding, taking in saving, borrowing, insurance, taxes, student aid, investing and scams.
You look a term up as you meet it, or read one letter at a time to build the vocabulary of a single topic such as credit, insurance or student aid. The definitions are written in plain sentences, often with an example, so you can check that you have understood a term before you use it. The PDF version lets you keep the whole glossary beside you as you read or write.
