Digital financial education for young people

Digital channels allow bank customers to access financial products and services anytime and anywhere, quickly and conveniently, from their computer or mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets).

However, the use of digital channels also entails risks related to the security of operations, easier access to products and impulse buying, which sometimes involves resorting to credit.

The #toptip campaign is a digital financial education campaign launched by the Banco de Portugal to promote the safe use of banking products and services on digital channels.

Tips aimed at young people are released in this area, on Instagram and on Youtube.

The campaign materials are also compiled in a brochure designed for secondary schools.
