News & Views | Episode 172: Financial Wellbeing & UK Financial Literacy

On this week’s episode of News & Views, The Fintech Times Podcast team speak about how Loqbox has set out to provide people with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to reach their financial goals and feel better about money; and the gap between how much people think they understand about money and the reality of UK financial literacy levels.

The News and Views team comprised of Tom and Francis this week, with the two discussing the topic of money and how much it is spoken about. They explore the reasons why money shouldn’t be a taboo topic and how it is no surprise that the younger generations speak about it more than their older counterparts. They agree that more discussion can only benefit people’s financial well-being.

The next topic the duo tackles is financial literacy. Using stats from Pay.UK, Francis and Tom highlight how few people actually understand savings accounts and how they work.
