Addressing women's issues is a priority of Wainwright's progressive
banking agenda. Aimed at informing women about a broad range
of money-related topics on "the principles that build
wealth", Wainwright Bank has developed the Personal Financial
Planning for Women seminars to help women become financially
independent.
Topics include: Proper uses of credit, understanding risk,
compounding, inflation and tax deferral.
