Money is stressful, whether you have it or not. In this season 5 finale of Financial Futures, Brian Fey, Senior Director, Digital Banking at FIS, joins us to explain the basics of financial wellness programs and how financial education can help both individuals and communities.

Show Notes

A recent study done by the American Psychology Association found that nearly 2 in 3 adults say that money is a significant source of stress in their life. This financial stress is an epidemic issue, affecting both individuals and communities alike. But according to Brian Fey, Senior Director, Digital Banking at FIS, better education on managing money might be the solution to widespread stress. He says financial wellness programs are “a tangible way that we're helping the community get better by improving their financial health.”
