The Office of the FAIS Ombud is pleased to announce its participation in the Money Smart Week South Africa (MSWSA) build-up launch that takes place from 21 to 27 March 2022, in conjunction with Global Money Week (GMW). The objective of the launch is to create awareness about MSWSA 2022 which will be held from 29 August to 4 September 2022 and also to showcase its participants.
The FAIS Ombud will host a series of online activities and radio interviews from 24 to 27 March 2022, aimed at empowering consumers with the knowledge to make more informed financial decisions.
The MSWSA is an initiative of the National Consumer Financial Education Committee (NCFEC), a financial literacy campaign aimed at motivating and empowering South Africans to become better educated about their finances. The NCFEC is an entity comprising a variety of stakeholders in the financial education sector. The NCFEC was established to secure active involvement, collaboration, and coordination of various stakeholders in consumer financial education.
Some of the topics to be unpacked throughout the four days include the underwriting process, credit life policies vs traditional life policies, the importance of a needs analysis, and we unpack endowment policies. In addition, there will also be a host of educational videos across the FAIS Ombud social media platforms to ensure that these critical learnings reach a wider audience.
