Online and mobile banking forum

Posted by on August 13, 2012

You are cordially invited to attend a free Consumer Action, Visa and Clarifi Regional Meeting focusing on online and mobile banking for consumers. We will hold the training on Thursday, September 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Philadelphia.

Our commitment to you
We commit to providing you an innovative and interactive training program.  Consumer Action and Visa created the unique “Digital Dollars” module to help staff of community-based organizations and social service groups obtain the information and tools they need to educate their clients about navigating the new online economy.

We want to train you on:
• How to bank online or on your mobile device;
• The different types of financial transactions that are possible with a mobile device;
• How to decide whether to bank and pay bills on your mobile device;
• How to protect your assets and your privacy while banking and paying bills online and on the go.

At the training, you will receive:
• A free multilingual training module that includes multilingual brochures, lesson plan with activities and a PowerPoint presentation. (To preview the Digital Dollars module, visit: http://www.consumer-action.org/modules/module_digital_dollars);
• Financial literacy publications;
• Opportunities to network with representatives from other community-based organizations working on financial literacy issues; and
• A training session on adult learning.
By the end of the day, you will be able to share vital information on online and mobile banking and mobile payments throughout your community.

Your commitment to us
All we ask of you in return for the training is that you provide us with critical feedback that we need to improve our work.
