OREANDA-NEWS. September 16, 2014. Sberbank launched the internet website Finprosto at the beginning of the academic year. The new information education website aims to increase financial literacy. The site’s easy-to-navigate interface includes interactive educational materials and services designed for people of all ages.

The Finprosto website teaches finance in layman’s terms and consists of eight courses:

What you need to know about money
How to pay for services and transfer money
How to earn a return
What to do when you don’t have enough money
How to insure your investments
How to start your financial life
What you need to know about retirement savings
How to start your own business
 
Users can access materials about financial products and services and take tests covering each section, compete with other users and receive prizes, and at the end of the course take an online exam.

In the future, the website will be updated with new courses, videos, infographics and games on financial topics. It will also be possible to ask financial sector experts questions.

The website’s senior editor is finance professional and editor of the economic magazine “Dengi” Maxim Kvasha.

“Increasing financial literacy is one of the most important conditions for building and developing the country’s economy as a whole. Knowledge of the personal finance basics allows people to avoid a range of financial risks and mistakes, and to effectively manage their personal finances and discover new instruments to earn a return on capital,” said Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board Alexander Torbakhov.
