Assopopolari, the association that brings together cooperative banks, has announced its participation in the first edition of the "Financial Education Month” sponsored by the Committee on Financial Education.
"The Association has always worked on this theme by investing resources and energies in it", reads the press release from Assopopolari, which also underlines the initiatives carried out on its own, such as courses of conferences and consultancy activities in favor of the members with a dual objective: "On the one hand, to provide answers and cognitive tools to citizens concerned by events related to the health of credit institutions and, consequently, of their savings, on the other, to provide operators with all the tools to work competently and with awareness of how delicate the problem is ”, continues the note.
“Cooperative banks – stated the Chairman of Assopopolari, Corrado Sforza Fogliani – have always been particularly sensitive to the issue of financial education. Accompanying partners and customers in their independent investment choices and training their own operators has always been the way to create a relationship of trust resulting from a long process of mutual understanding. A consolidated relationship with partners, customers and the community that matures also thanks to operations aimed at informing and raising awareness of the tools and products offered on the market. But today for a bank all this increasingly represents not only an ethical value, but also a strategic element. Looking to the future by being close to the most basic information and financial training needs of our customers is an essential premise for the healthy development of territories and communities.”
