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.
