Making Money Easier
The Easy Picture Guide to Banking
There are quite a few places you can go if you need some help to manage your money. These are just a few of them:
Talking Money is a joint project between ENABLE Scotland and ARC Scotland. It aims to make it easier for people with learning disabilities to access banking services and for them to be financially included in society.
The Financial Services Authority regulate most types of financial services firms, such as banks, building societies, credit unions, insurance companies, financial advisers, stockbrokers, mortgage and insurance sellers. The FSA have a website called Money Made Clear which tries to cut out the jargon and give you just the facts about financial products and services, helping you to make an informed decision.
If you would like to learn more about money the Money Matters to Me website has lots of information and some games and other things to help.
The Now Lets Talk Money campaign has been trying to help people understand more about money and how to get out of debt. It is part of the government and has given us some money to print booklets about Making Money Easier.
The Citizens Advice service helps people resolve their legal, money and other problems by providing free information and advice from over 3,200 locations, and by influencing policymakers. The CAB have an online advice guide to help people with information about money and rights.
Some people find banks difficult or want to be able to borrow small amounts of money. Sometimes a Credit Union is better than a bank. Credit unions are financial co-operatives owned and controlled by their members. They offer savings and great value loans plus they are local, ethical and know what their members want. Many credit unions now offer a range of services including a current account, benefits direct, ISAs and Child Trust Funds. The Abcul website has a list of most credit unions.
