Research shows that on average women live longer and earn lower salaries – which is why they have special needs when it comes to finances. And although some progress has been made, many women remain insecure about finance.
In Germany, we are improving the financial awareness of women and helping them to make autonomous decisions. UniCredit HypoVereinsbank has launched a series of educational initiatives targeted specifically at women, including customer events, webinars for customers and employees, and an awareness campaign under the #EmbraceEquity hashtag. In addition, the bank has transformed how it engages with women, using customer questions such as “What if we separate?” to open the door to conversations around issues including pension provision.
