UpSenior

The project addresses the problems faced by the social group of senior citizens above the age of 55 as more specifically it seeks to:
-Strengthen skills in the use of basic financial services
-Increase the knowledge for documentation and identification of documents required for opening accounts among financial institutions
-Strengthen their self-confidence through financial education
-Familiarize them with the financial system, the various fees, and the national charges
-Provide them with practical skills for safe financial management and enabling them to have better decision-making in the financial challenges
-Equip senior citizens with practical knowledge of online payments, banking operations and initiating transactions autonomously
Within the transnational context of the UpSenior project, the objectives are:
– To educate senior citizens on the types of financial dangers and their consequences
– To build better knowledge of the senior citizens to recognise and proactively adapt to online payments being aware of the security threats
– To lay the foundations of financial security policies at a higher/systemic level
– To enhance critical thinking amongst senior citizens relating to financial security
