Educating youth (10-18 years old) and their parents
For young people aged between 13 and 18 years old we have a Facebook page that features educational information about all kinds of topics: earnings, spendings and savings, and includes contests and polls. They can find plenty of clever tips to make the right decisions at the important moments in their lives.
Parents who open a Pack Mine for their child that is 10 to 14 years old receive the magazine GPS Argent. This magazine, which is also available online, covers several topics to guide young people around finance matters.
