OUR IDENTITY
A lack of knowledge and skills in financial affairs has negative consequences for the economy, but also for society and culture.
Our aim is to raise interest in finance and the economy among children, young people and adults to promote and strengthen responsible management of personal finances. Money management skills are crucial in the struggle against growing indebtedness among young people.
We are frank and open, we hide nothing, we engage with all questions asked, and we try to find answers to them all.
We communicate in plain language so that our visitors can understand us, regardless of their age and educational background.
FLiP GmbH is a subsidiary of Erste Social Finance Holding GmbH, which is owned 51 percent by ERSTE Stiftung and 49 percent by Erste Group.
