Consumer Action and Visa created the unique “Digital Dollars” module to help staff of community-based organizations and other financial educators to obtain the information and tools they need to educate their clients on how to navigate the new online and mobile economy.
The training will help you to educate people about:
• How to bank safely online or on their 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 their mobile device; and
• How to protect their assets and their privacy while banking and paying bills online and on the go.
At the training, you will receive:
• A copy of the Digital Dollars training module that includes multilingual brochures, lesson plan with activities and a PowerPoint presentation that you can easily incorporate into your existing educational program. To preview the Digital Dollars module, visit: http://consumer-action.org/modules/module_digital_dollars;
• Financial literacy publications; and
• Opportunities to network with representatives from other community-based organizations working on community education.
By the end of the day, you will have vital information on online and mobile banking and mobile payments to add to your financial or community education program.
Your commitment to us: All we ask of you in return for the training is that you provide us with critical feedback we need to improve our work and that you share what you learn with members of your community.
