Innovations that Enhance Financial Capability and Engagement
As Americans navigated through the Great Recession, the field of financial education has necessarily evolved—in name and practice—from efforts to promote financial literacy to initiatives that foster financial capability. Today, financial capability efforts connect financial education programs with tools that promote good financial choices and improved knowledge of safe and effective financial products.
Please join us for this webinar, when national experts will discuss innovative practices that help translate financial knowledge alone into financial empowerment and greater access among low- and moderate-income individuals.
Participants in this webinar will learn:
- how industry trends and insights from behavioral economics are being employed to promote financial health and stability;
- how video games and gamification can be used as tools for promoting financial engagement and positive consumer outcomes;
- the latest research and promising practices for promoting savings, including prize-linked savings efforts; and
- how incentive and rewards programs have boosted financial capability, improved financial access and expanded product usage.
Presenters for this session include:
Joshua Sledge, Manager, Innovation Labs, Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI)
Nick Maynard, Senior Innovation Director, Doorways to Dreams (D2D) Fund
Arlyn Davich, Founder and CEO, PayPerks
There is no charge for this event, but registration is required.
For questions or more information, please contact Jeanne Marra at 314-444-6146 or [email protected].
