According to the OECD/INFE 2020 international survey of adult financial literacy, about half of the EU adult population does not have a good enough understanding of basic financial concepts. Sparly is on a mission to change that by educating and building financial habits.

According to the OECD/IMFE 2020 survey , young people and women appear to have lower financial literacy and worse financial attitude scores than the rest of the sample consistently and significantly.
