Financial education is essential to enabling all individuals to make informed and responsible decisions . By understanding the basics of finance, everyone can better manage their budget , invest wisely , and protect themselves against financial risks.

It is clear that France lags significantly behind in this area. In fact, 81% of French people believe that financial education should be taught in schools. Its benefits are numerous and address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Financial education is essential for reducing inequalities of opportunity and gender, as well as the precarious situation linked to over-indebtedness, and for improving financial well-being and pensions.

In recent years, initiatives have been multiplying to popularize financial education among as many people as possible, and this is good news. Fintechs are playing a leading role in this.

France FinTech is committed to promoting this education to strengthen the confidence and financial autonomy of everyone.
