Financial Ability

At VantageOne, we recognize the importance of Financial Literacy so much so that we actually have a special role dedicated to working with the schools and community groups in our region to improve their financial ability. Meet Kristine Lidstone, Financial Ability Liaison at VantageOne Credit Union.

Start Conversations About Money Early

Teaching children how to manage money will help them throughout their lives. Start teaching children about money when they’re young. If you start early, you can build on their knowledge as they grow.

This way, children will learn how to:

make good decisions about spending
save for the future
practice good financial habits
use credit responsibly
understand the difference between needs and wants
