Financial literacy

 

Financial literacy, or the ability to effectively manage money, is about more than numeracy. Through necessity, Australians are often self-taught money managers.

As a bank, Westpac has a role to play in assisting consumers to manage their money productively. We've developed Financial First Steps, a course to enable consumers, particularly young people to gain basic money management training.

Further information about Financial First Steps can be downloaded here:

Young people can also get financial tips by downloading the "To the Max" comic from the Australian Securities & Investment Commission's FIDO web site.
