Learn about key findings from a rigorous FDIC evaluation of How Money Smart Are You?, a free, online, game-based tool that helps people build financial knowledge and confidence. The evaluation found that using the tool, which is based on FDIC Money Smart, led to significant positive improvements across a range of financial outcomes, including subjective financial knowledge, financial skill, financial well-being, and most notably financial behavior.
Participants will also explore how the tool supports financial capability initiatives led by financial institutions, educators, employers, and community organizations.
For nearly 25 years, FDIC Money Smart has provided free, trusted, non-copyrighted high-quality resources for banks, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to help empower people with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed financial decisions. The program includes instructor-led curricula for all age groups and small businesses, as well as How Money Smart Are You?—14 self-paced games on everyday financial topics.
