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.
