In an effort to make financial wellbeing more accessible, Nasfund Contributors Savings and Loan Society (NCSL) is strengthening its commitment to financial literacy by taking its services directly into the workplace.
Through recent engagement sessions held with employees at Paradise Foods Ltd and British American Tobacco PNG (BAT), NCSL delivered practical information on savings, revised interest rates, and the benefits of its financial products.
These outreach activities are part of a broader initiative by NCSL to bridge financial knowledge gaps, especially for workers who may face challenges accessing in-branch services due to time constraints.
“Our members are busy,” said Lawes Omeri, NCSL Business Relations Manager.
“That’s why we bring the conversation to them and whether it’s explaining our savings products or helping someone financially plan for the future, our goal is to make financial wellbeing easier and more achievable.”
Each session was interactive, offering employees the opportunity to ask questions, receive tailored advice, and better understand how savings can serve as a financial cushion in uncertain times.
BAT HR and Payroll representative, Henry Midave, acknowledged the value of this approach: “It’s not every day that service providers come to us.”
“The NCSL team made the effort to speak directly with our staff, helping them understand how to save money and prepare for rainy days. That kind of support makes a real difference.”
The sessions emphasized that financial literacy is not merely about managing money, but about building resilience and planning.
With updated interest rates now in effect, members were encouraged to reassess their financial goals and explore options that align with their needs.
NCSL’s workplace outreach reflects a community-focused strategy, placing member empowerment at the centre of its operations.
By continuing to meet members where they are, NCSL aims to foster informed financial decision-making and long-term financial security.
