Too many payment methods for schoolkids to keep track of their finances

School-going teenagers can choose between so many different payment methods that they struggle to keep track of their finances. This finding was revealed by a study entitled ‘Payment habits among schoolkids’ (Betaalgedrag scholieren), conducted by Dutch family finance awareness institute Nibud in partnership with ABN AMRO among nearly 1600 secondary school students. The details of their financial situation are often distorted by unpaid payment requests, purchases waiting to be returned to the seller and Buy Now Pay Later arrangements. “Schoolkids can lose control of their finances, thinking that they have less or more money than is actually the case,” explains Nibud director Arjan Vliegenthart. “It’s important for young people to learn how to organise their finances before they turn 18. Money will become an even greater part of life when they are adults, when it will be their own responsibility to stay out of financial trouble.”

These are the findings of a study commissioned by ABN AMRO and carried out by LexisNexis, aimed at promoting equal representation and helping to create equal opportunities.
