The Australia and New Zealand Banking Group has launched a website that provides financial and life information and advice for women.

The website, www.bemoneyconfident.com, aims to provide women with valuable knowledge and tools about financial services and important aspects of their lives, career and work, home and family, health and wellbeing and planning for retirement.

Carolyn Bendall, head of retail banking marketing and communication at Australia and New Zealand Banking (ANZ) said: The initiative followed research into women’s attitudes towards their finances which revealed that women are generally comfortable managing day-to-day finances, but are not as confident when making decisions about investments and wealth creation.

The website enables women to self-navigate and create their own holistic financial solutions without external pressure. This is part of our commitment to more convenient banking and delivering on the things we know customers want: convenience, simplicity and responsibility.
