Promoting financial self-reliance

Gijs Bolsius, team leader banking & financial services management for the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch explains that within the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch, the "Bossche aanpak Budgetbeheer" has been developed. This is a totally new way of looking at budget management and ensures that citizens develop the necessary competencies to be financially self-reliant. The Bossche Aanpak had already been added to Fincent, but now that we have fully implemented Fincent in our basic service provision, our approach is strengthened and we are even better able to actively guide residents and offer the right assistance tailored to them so that they regain control of their finances.
