The Financial Supervisory Service is accepting applications for its tailored financial literacy program for seniors, focusing on fraud prevention and digital access.
What Happened
Program Overview: The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has announced the recruitment period for the second-half 'FSS Senior Financial Academy,' which runs until September 18. This initiative aims to improve financial literacy among the elderly and facilitate better access to digital financial services.
Educational Objectives: The core curriculum is designed to prevent financial fraud and help seniors navigate increasingly digital banking environments. By providing practical knowledge, the FSS seeks to empower older citizens to manage their finances safely and independently.
Tailored Curriculum: To enhance learning outcomes, the FSS is introducing age-specific modules starting this term. The program will be split into two groups—those in their 50s-60s and those in their 70s-80s—to ensure the content is relevant and accessible to each demographic.
Schedule and Registration: The training sessions are scheduled to take place between September 28 and December 11. Community centers and senior welfare facilities can apply through the FSS 'e-Financial Education Center' website, continuing the agency's track record of over 100 successful outreach sessions.
