Money Advice Scotlands Financial Wellbeing

03/09/2022

Last month, Money Advice Scotland provided an update on the Cost-of-Living Crisis looking at the potential impacts of the October energy price cap increase. We also provided a webinar on “buy-now-pay-later” products. In addition, we have been delivering financial wellbeing workshops to communities across Scotland.

 

We have several events planned throughout September:

 

  • On the 8th of September we have our Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) Webinar. In this webinar, we discuss what BNPL is and how it works. We will look at some of the positives and negatives of using BNPL, as well as some recent updates regarding this new form of credit. For this webinar, we would be very interested to hear your thoughts and experiences. If you have any questions or would like to share your thoughts, please contact us via financialcapability@moneyadvicescotland.org.uk.

 

You don’t need to book a space on this session, simply use the joining instructions on the event page here.

 

  • Our online Train the Trainer session will take place on the 15th of September and you can book your place here.
