Hot off the financial presses is the Banking Council's guide to banking services, "Looking after your money", in all official languages.
Aimed at people with little experience of banks, and written by the Educational Support Services Trust (ESST), the guide tackles questions such as "Why do we need banks?", "How not to invest your money", "Banks, the economy and us", and "What services do the banks offer?"
Illustrated with a comic strip, where Karl and Kondi and their child, Lulama, find out about the dangers of pyramid schemes, the benefits of a bank account, how to save, and how to borrow to start a small business.
The guide is based on a booklet called "Money", developed by ESST for the Reserve Bank.
