NSBS is one of the only providers in New Zealand of both the Building Financial Capability (BFC) and Building Financial Capability-Plus (also called Total Money Management) programmes. As such, the Government has invited NSBS CEO, Drew Glucina, to join the Review Board Panel into the BFC-Plus service to discuss its impact and future, held by the Ministry of Social Development.
