Women
NSBS focuses on women’s financial capability so that we can support their financial security and empowerment, and the long-term prosperity of their children and family.
More than 80% of New Zealand women rate their financial knowledge as not being adequate, and the stresses and pressures they feel about money contribute negatively to their overall health and wellbeing.
NSBS is committed to helping women attain financial independence and security for themselves and their families.Through our BFC programme and our experienced NSBS financial mentors, we focus on women’s financial capability needs to support their financial empowerment.
Female clients often come to NSBS after they have made the decision to get a grip of their family’s financial goals and want to ensure future stability. Many of our female clients are young and independent with careers and no dependents. They are conscious of buy-now-pay-later lenders and want to set goals and make savings plans for a wedding, house, holiday or car.
Our mentors empower and enhance our clients on their journeys of financial capability. We offer female mentors to clients who feel more comfortable with one, and adapt times and schedules around family commitments and work hours, with Zoom-call mentoring a popular option.
Partnerships
Our Strategic Partnerships
Workplace Wellness
The desire for increased financial awareness and education is on the rise, especially as employees in New Zealand are struggling to make ends meet and Kiwi employers experience the negative consequences. Offering a financial wellness mentor to staff will enhance their financial knowledge and minimise personal money worries, and enable sustainable growth strategies for the company in growing profit and revenue, fostering engagement, enhancing the customer journey, and minimising staff turnover numbers.
Grace Foundation
The strategic partnership between the Grace Foundation and NSBS will empower students, young people, and the vulnerable and marginalised members of society with financial mentoring to grow their financial independence and confidence and protect their future. Together, the two organisations will serve more people in need and offer practical life skills to empower them on their next stage in their life journey.
Te Puna Hauora
The Māori health provider Te Puna Hauora understands how vital it is to address all of their client’s health needs. That’s why the organisation partnered with the major financial mentoring provider on the North Shore, NSBS, to provide financial mentoring as a health necessity.
Seniors
Managing personal finances can be a sensitive topic, especially for Kiwi seniors facing changes in their life and financial situation. Even with retirement savings and a pension, budgeting for this new phase of life can be a little overwhelming. By prioritising financial wellness, Kiwi seniors can alleviate the burden of financial stress so they can live a healthier life.
Library Programme
Seniors and retirees will be heading to Auckland libraries as safe and inclusive places to learn about money. NSBS financial mentors will provide free financial literacy workshops to seniors in the cosiness of libraries to ease peace of mind and teach everything they need to know about money management.
Māori and Pasifika
NSBS chooses to build the financial capability of Māori and Pasifika, and we work closely with Māori and Pasifika healthcare partners and community organisations, and incorporate tikanga Māori and cultural values into our financial literacy services, so that we can deliver better financial futures for Māori and Pacific peoples.
