The Belgian Banking Federation (Febelfin) works on financial education through various initiatives to help provide personal finance training for all segments of society.
These projects include the ‘Digita Paymentl’ campaign, which highlights the advantages and possibilities of digital payment methods for customers and merchants. Another initiative is the ‘Phishing Project‘, which aims to raise consumer awareness that a bank will never ask them for their banking credentials via a link, and provides users with guidelines to avoid becoming victims of a cyberattack. The ‘Money Mules’ campaign targets young people to show them that making money quickly simply by lending their card or bank account is a utopia that can have serious consequences. Other projects include ‘I adopt digital banking‘ to help and guide people in online banking. Through these financial education promotion programmes, one million Belgians have been reached.
