National Strategy for Financial Capability aims to simplify the language of finance

Photo: 123rf.com The National Strategy for Financial Capability brings together more than 100 financial organisations to simplify the language of finance to help people make better and informed decisions around money. The Commission for Financial Capability has taken the lead and brought together commercial, non-profit and government agencies, the major banks, insurance companies, budget and financial advisors, and iwi. The head of the Commission and Retirement Commissioner, Jane Wrightson, said the time was right to push for getting rid of jargon, and replacing it with clear messages that would reach people from different cultural backgrounds. She said the panicked response to Covid-19 was a wake-up call for the industry.

Reducing jargon will make financial information more accessible to all

Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson. OPINION: Jargon is an obstructive beast. It blocks our access to knowledge and seems set to intimidate. Jargon around money is particularly frustrating. Money is part of everyone’s day-to-day lives, and how we manage it is critical in being able to provide for our families, reach our goals and, ultimately, have the retirement we deserve. We should all have easy access to financial know-how, in language we understand. Which is why an agreed glossary for everyone in the financial capability sector to use, to help make messages around money clear and motivating, is one of the first tasks a new umbrella group has set itself.
