Personal finance education at work

Like the man on the top of the bus, if you still don’t know what a tracker mortgage is... help is on its way.

The National Consumer Agency has launched an initiative to provide free, independent, personal finance education in the workplace.

Under the NCA’s Money Skills for Life programme, specially trained and accredited financial experts will volunteer to give a one-hour presentation to staff in offices and factories. Among the topics covered will be money and debt management, tips on getting best value for insurance and loans, how to save and invest and planning for retirement.
