What is Pua Ora?
Pua Ora is a two-week learning experience designed to build your confidence with money and support your financial wellbeing.
Using the Banqer platform, Waikato rangatahi and pakeke can build financial knowledge, confidence, and skills to support their aspirations - now and into the future. There'll also be opportunities to win prizes along the way.
You'll learn in a safe, simulated world where you can make bold decisions, see the outcomes, and learn from your mistakes - alongside other whaanau, with regular insights, encouragement, and practical tips throughout. We encourage you to koorero with friends and whaanau. We learn together by sharing.
What you'll explore
Practical, everyday money topics
Bank accounts & spending
Saving & interest
Planning for today & the future
Borrowing & debt
Investing, and more
What's actually involved
Online, at your own pace
You'll set up an account, log in online, and work through the Banqer world at your own pace - making financial decisions and learning key concepts as you go. Pua Ora runs on Banqer, an online platform that has supported over 750,000 rangatahi and pakeke across Aotearoa and Australia to build their money confidence.
