The financial security of citizens depends directly on their daily decisions. An incorrect choice of a financial service provider, inattentive reading of contract terms, and lack of financial discipline can lead to a difficult financial situation. The increasing complexity of the financial market, the emergence of entirely new products and services, their digitalization, the development of the digital field of interaction of financial market participants, and, at the same time, the formation of new types of fraud, are a kind of signal for vigilance on the part of the population. It increases not only financial but also digital and legal literacy, awareness of all aspects and “rules of the game” in the financial market, when interacting with financial institutions.
