TO be financially secure is often defined as having sufficient money to cover basic necessities without worrying about running out of funds. It means reaching a level where one's financial obligations and lifestyle are sustainable, bringing a sense of stability and peace of mind.
For some, achieving financial security is synonymous with success. However, in the case of many Filipinos, the path to financial security is not a walk in the park. This is especially true for the unbanked — or those who have little to no access to formal banking services — and for those lacking the financial awareness to understand available financial products and services.
