Pioneering financial literacy programme to be read in Auckland libraries

< 1

 

NSBS has developed an exciting new partnership with Auckland Council Libraries, in collaboration with ASB Bank, which will see the rollout of a pioneering programme offering free financial literacy workshops to senior citizens in libraries.

 

The programme will initially roll out at Takapuna Library, with its panoramic views over the Waitemata Harbour towards Rangitoto Island, and then throughout Auckland.

 

This innovative pilot will tackle a variety of important financial issues, such as:

  • Online banking
  • Cybercrime
  • Financial security
  • Digital services
  • Withdrawal of cheques

 

The programme will also introduce NSBS’s BFC-Plus programme as a safety net alternative for seniors in which they can rely on our experts to totally manage their money for them. This service is particularly appealing to those seniors who want the peace of mind of knowing that NSBS will help to manage their finances and pay their day-to-day bills.
