Financial education map

To make informed choices, consumers need to understand key concepts about insurance and pensions.

In the map below you can find informative websites and portals in your country aimed precisely to help consumers find their way in the insurance and pensions sectors.

EIOPA has a leading role in promoting transparency, simplicity and fairness in the market for consumer financial products and services across the internal market, including by reviewing and coordinating competent authorities’ financial literacy and education initiatives.

Check our page For consumers which provides useful information on the different stages of buying and using insurance and pensions products.

EIOPA has published a Report on Financial Literacy and Education Initiatives by Competent Authorities. The report looked into:

  • national strategies and legal competences of EIOPA’s Members regarding financial literacy/education
  • national and international cooperation in financial literacy/education
  • target groups, tools and programmes of the financial literacy/education initiatives
  • measuring the success of initiatives

Rather than publishing a follow-up report, EIOPA focused on a more interactive way to share information on financial education.

EIOPA is not responsible for verifying the information accessed through the map on this page.

  • Voice of EU is the website from The Federation of German Consumer Organisations - vzbv – that is a non-governmental organisation acting as an umbrella for 42 German consumer associations. The vzbv represent the interests of consumers in public and vis-à-vis legislators, the private sector and civil society. The website holds background information regarding the mandate of the vzb in English. More comprehensive information for consumers regarding financial education is available in German only: https://www.vzbv.de/themen/finanzen.
     
  • "Die Versicherer" is a digital consumer website by the German Insurance Association (GDV). The consumer communication relies on surprising and self-critical content to reduce consumer reservations. The website is aimed at insurance customers and their specific questions: Should I cancel my insurance? Which insurance premiums can I deduct from my taxes?
     
  • "Mein Kohleeinstieg" is a website with information on financial education, savings and basic investment.
     
  • Foundation for Youth Education offers free learning resources from basic financial education to more technical financial and economic issues.
     
  • Verbraucherbildung – Education of Customers enables children and interests to lead a self-determined and responsible life. Schools and teachers play a real role in mediation.
     
  • BMJV-Verbraucherportal (Federal Consumers Portal) provides a general overview of consumer education and information institutions and includes a special section on finance.
     
  • 7 Jahre Länger: People generally live seven years longer than they tend to believe. Based on this premise, the GDV launched the campaign “7 Jahre länger” (7 years longer) to raise people’s awareness of their true life expectancy and the demographic challenges connected to it. The main tool of the campaign is its website, which is complemented by a Facebook page. The website includes a life expectancy calculator and a calculator to work out the cost of living for chosen items and services until the end of one’s life. For public appearances, such as conferences, a large, wooden “wheel of life”, as well as smaller paper versions, have been developed. These allow citizens to estimate their life expectancy based on their year of birth.
     
  • Information campaigns of the federal states on natural hazards: These state-specific information campaigns by state governments serve to educate the public. Many homeowners and tenants underestimate the risk of increasing weather extremes. In spring 2009, the first campaign was launched in Bavaria for private households, which was later expanded to include commercial risks. Central elements are a dedicated website, a flyer and, in most cases, a joint press conference. In addition to GDV, other multipliers such as the Association of Towns and Municipalities and consumer protection were also involved.
     
  • Smoke alarms save lives campaign: The portal for consumers on the subject of smoke alarms and behaviour in the event of a fire. The Smoke Alarms Save Lives initiative was founded in 2000 by the Forum for Fire-Smoke-Prevention to significantly reduce the number of fire victims in Germany.
     
  • K-Einbruch campaign: Together with cooperation partners from the insurance industry, industry associations and installer companies, the police launched the nationwide K-Einbruch publicity campaign in fall 2012. The aim is to raise awareness among the general public of the need to take personal responsibility for burglary prevention, with the ultimate aim of reducing burglary crime. An important part of the campaign is the "Burglary Prevention Day". Under the motto "One hour more for more security", this takes place annually on the day of the time change, when Central European Summer Time ends.
     
  • Cyber Security Check: Digitalisation is making Germany's companies faster and more flexible. However, this dynamism is also causing cybercrime to flourish. While large corporations protect themselves at great expense, smaller companies often act too carelessly. The “CyberSicher” (CyberSecure) initiative raises awareness of the dangers from cyberspace and shows how small and medium-sized enterprises can protect themselves. GDV's Cyber Security Check asks the most important questions about IT security in companies and gives advice for improvement. This enables companies to quickly check the security of their systems, identify weak points and remedy them.
     
  • "Stadt.Land.unter" initiative: Floods, heavy rain and severe storms - every year, people feel the force of nature. With the "Stadt.Land.unter" initiative, the insurance industry educates people about the growing danger of heavy rainfall and shows how tenants and property owners can protect themselves. An important part of the initiative is the Natural Hazard Check, which property owners and tenants can now use to easily determine their individual risk of being affected by natural hazards. On the online platform, consumers can enter their zip code to find out what damage severe weather has caused in the past at their own place of residence: How many buildings were affected in the region last year, the most expensive damage caused by heavy rain, storms or hail, and the risk of flooding.

Unter dem Motto „Eine Stunde mehr für mehr Sicherheit“ findet dieser jährlich am Tag der Zeitumstellung statt, wenn die mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit endet.
  • Cyber-Sicherheitscheck: Die Digitalisierung macht Deutschlands Unternehmen schneller und flexibler. Doch diese Dynamik ist auch Wasser auf die Mühlen der Cyberkriminalität. Während sich Konzerne mit hohem Aufwand schützen, agieren kleinere Firmen oft zu sorglos. Die Initiative „CyberSicher“ sensibilisiert für die Gefahren aus dem Cyberspace und zeigt, wie sich kleine und mittlere Unternehmen schützen können. Der Cyber-Sicherheitscheck des GDV stellt die wichtigsten Fragen rund um die IT-Sicherheit in Unternehmen und gibt Empfehlungen für Verbesserungen. So können Unternehmen die Sicherheit ihrer Systeme rasch überprüfen. um Schwachstellen zu ermitteln und zu beheben.

Here people can access reliable information about the world of finance, including videos, interviews, warnings, and advice to help them in their financial decisions.

    We also provide opportunities for informal interactive financial education at our Banská Bystrica and Košice regional offices and at the Museum of Coins and Medals in Kremnica. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have started to offer online financial education to secondary schools and have stepped up our educational activity on social media. In this way, we are reaching out to the younger generation, whose important financial decisions still lie ahead. Furthermore, we have set up a grant scheme to support NGO projects in the area of financial literacy.

Finans Norge, finansnæringens hovedorganisasjon, var en av de viktigste initiativtakerne til dette sporingsverktøyet. Norsk Pensjon eies av syv livsforsikringsselskaper og er utviklet i samarbeid med NAV (folketrygden). Denne portalen har vist seg å være veldig populært blant innbyggerne i Norge, og det utføres 3,4 millioner pensjonsberegninger hvert år.
  • Finansportalen er en portal som hjelper forbrukerne å sammenlikne gjeldende priser og vilkår for de vanligste bank-, pensjons-, forsikrings- og investeringsprodukter. Portalen er utviklet av Forbrukerombudet, Forbrukerrådet og Finansdepartementet og Barne-, likestillings- og inkluderingsdepartementet. Den ble først lansert i 2008 og har offisielt vært en del av Forbrukerrådet siden 2010. Forsikringsselskapene leverer dataene til portalen.
