Retiree Financial Literacy Ambassador Programme

Programmes

Many retirees who have just retired from the workplace are eager to give back to the community with their experiences and knowledge. At the same time, these retirees may face a number of challenges when managing their finances: to invest appropriately; to avoid financial abuses or scams; and to prepare for financial matters before and after they pass away.

In view of this, we have designed a financial literacy ambassador programme to provide financial education training for suitable retirees to become ambassadors. The ambassadors can then take part in volunteer services by providing simple financial education messages to other elderly in the community as to improve their awareness of proper financial management.

Since 2015, we have cooperated with The Senior Police Call (SPC), an elderly community relations project managed by the Hong Kong Police Force, by training selected SPC members to become "SPC Wealth Management Anti-Scam Ambassadors". So far, more than 100 ambassadors from different districts in Hong Kong have been trained on topics that cover proper financial management and scam preventions.

In 2018, a team of "The Chin Family 3rd Age Financial Literacy Ambassadors" was also trained. These ambassadors can share their knowledge with other elderly about the new technology that applies daily money matters, proper investing concepts, and financial matters before and after death.
