A recent study done by the American Psychology Association found that nearly 2 in 3 adults say that money is a significant source of stress in their life. This financial stress is an epidemic issue, affecting both individuals and communities alike. But according to Brian Fey, Senior Director, Digital Banking at FIS, better education on managing money might be the solution to widespread stress. He says financial wellness programs are “a tangible way that we're helping the community get better by improving their financial health.”

In this season 5 finale of Financial Futures, FIS’ Brian Fey joins us to explain what a financial wellness program is, and how it can help relieve anxiety money often brings. We’ll look at the history of these initiatives and how banking’s digitization transformation has changed financial education efforts. 

We’ll also cover: 

• How does financial stress affect an individual? 
• How can banks start their own financial wellness programs? 
• How did COVID-19 change our approach to financial wellness?
