WAGI Financial Literacy App Launch: Democratizing Financial Literacy
July 31, 2024 marks a historic day for the country’s Financial Inclusion Imperative. FedCenter, a leading social enterprise dedicated to improving Financial Acumen through training and development, is launching the first ever app-based Financial Literacy platform that’s free and easy to use. This marks a significant milestone in democratizing financial literacy across the Philippines, leveraging mobile technology to reach the mass audience.
Aptly named WAGI (acronym for Wealth Advice for Growth and Inclusion), the app makes learning accessible, fun and rewarding. It features relevant and practical financial content that can apply to the Filipinos’ everyday lives such as Basic Budgeting to Stock Investing and everything in between. To make learning easier, the lessons are formatted in engaging and snackable modules. There are even quick finance tips from successful personalities and celebrities! To further boost usage, borrowers can take post learning tests after each module. And here’s the exciting part: the test scores will be converted into reward points which can then be used to claim prizes from various partner establishments such as leading fast food chains.
“FedCenter is very proud to launch WAGI. This app will democratize Financial Literacy and can significantly uplift the financial well being of all Pinoys.” said Marc Christian Gulle, President of FEdCenter. Francisco ‘Coco’ Mauricio, President/CEO of WeFund, operator of the JuanHand app, added “We are honored to be a major sponsor of WAGI. JuanHand, being the leading fintech cash lender in the Philippines is a strong advocate of financial inclusion. Financial literacy paves the way for inclusion which ultimately leads to financial empowerment. And financial empowerment is a cornerstone of national development. We do hope more organizations can join us in supporting WAGI and ensure its sustainability and success.”
The launch event was packed and included distinguished speakers from the government such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Credit Information Corporation (CIC), National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the National Development Corporation (NDC). Their insights underscores the importance of financial literacy for the Philippines and the role WAGI can play in advancing this mission.
