The website, www.KansasMoney.gov, includes the Kansas Financial Learning Center, an interactive website that offers 16 modules on various financial topics, such as insurance and taxes, mobile payments, financing higher education and prepaid cards.
Under the “manage” section, www.KansasMoney.gov users can learn about saving, investing, debt and other topics. And the “protect” section provides users with information on what to watch out for, what steps to take forward and how to recover if you have been a victim of Medicaid or insurance fraud.
Allan Towle, president and CEO of Fidelity State Bank & Trust Co., said the website can benefit residents of all ages by teaching information that helps them make good fiscal decisions, according to the report.
“We see people in all realms, from having a minor little problem to having no problems to really having some pretty serious financial problems,” he told the Topeka Capital-Journal. “When you get into it, some of it is just from bad behavior, and some of it is just because the world changed around them and they weren’t prepared for it. The key is to make sure people have the willingness and the ability to know there are resources to help very early.”
The launch of www.KansasMoney.gov comes as Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) declared April Financial Literacy Month in the state.
