Money management may be different concepts from Vancouver to Venice, but individuals in every market are hungry for the knowledge that will help them become smarter consumers. With our financial education programs, we are trying to reach everyone that needs us - to create better educated consumers all over the world.
Before we deploy any financial education program, we take a good look at the culture of individuals we are trying to reach in that particular market. We know from experience that a program must fit seamlessly within that individual country to be useful to the consumers.
As a result, each of our programs is easy-to-find and easy-to-use, allowing us to reach those that need us most. Our programs offer information tailored to consumers in several markets around the world, and are delivered in the most culturally sensitive ways.
