Financial Literacy

What is financial literacy?

​

The financial choices you make now can have long-lasting effects for decades. Financial literacy is the ability to understand and effectively utilize various money management skills and apply them to personal financial management. Here at the Business Innovation Center, we are dedicated to helping you achieve financial wellness by providing information and resources on topics such as budgeting and saving, credit and credit cards, fraud prevention, taxes, investing, and much much more.
