Why Vitality Money?

Discovery has done the research, and it boils down to this:

We as individuals and as a nation need to change how we manage our money. Reducing our levels of debt and creating a savings culture in South Africa are major socioeconomic challenges we all face.

Despite the complexity of these challenges, the good news is that each one of us can address them by making simple behaviour changes. This is why we created the Vitality Money programme.
