Written by The FSC team | October 21, 2024

The financial services sector has made significant strides in providing resources aimed at enhancing financial literacy and ensuring that it reaches diverse audiences and is accessible - but is it reaching the right people? 

The financial services sector is united in growing the financial confidence and wellbeing of New Zealanders, yet we frequently face challenges in encouraging consumers to engage effectively with these resources. 

Join us for an insightful online session where our expert panellists from various consumer backgrounds will share their experiences and insights for reaching New Zealand's diverse consumer groups, particularly around financial education.
