Managing Your Finances in Total Security
Online shopping, protecting your privacy, powers of attorney and payment methods: find out everything you need to know in this guide.
Option consommateurs is aware of the difficulties seniors face when it comes to personal finances as well as the risks of fraud or financial abuse linked to the use of payment methods (old and new), powers of attorney, and joint accounts. Our publication, “A Complete Guide for Seniors: Managing Your Finances in Total Security” has therefore generated a lot of interest among this target group so we decided to update it.
This has allowed us to take into account the latest tactics of fraudsters, who are never short of imagination, as well as certain amendments to the Consumer Protection Act.
Our goal in publishing this guide is to improve seniors’ knowledge about the various payment methods, types of power of attorney, and joint accounts. We also want to inform them about the main types of fraud that exist and how to protect themselves. All of this will help them develop safe habits to reduce the risk of financial abuse.
This guide is for seniors 55 years and older who would like to learn more about the various payment methods and adopt safe habits. It is also intended for caregivers and people working with older seniors, who will find relevant information allowing them to intervene better.
