Guidance and resources for BFC providers

This page provides resources for providers of Building Financial Capability (BFC) services.

Service Guidelines

Services must be delivered in accordance with the BFC and BFC Plus Service Guidelines.


Client outcomes measurement

MSD provides two ways to measure BFC clients' outcomes:

  • Client-led Outcomes
  • Wellbeing - Hauora reflection

Both are mandatory for all BFC providers. The only non-mandatory component is the Client Satisfaction Net Promoter Score in the Wellbeing - Hauora reflection, as this is primarily for Providers’ use.

Client Voices is the preferred method to administer the questions to clients; forms are also available for BFC providers to download:

MoneyMates resources

MoneyMates is based around the concept of sharing and learning together as a group.

Providers should use the MoneyMates guide for facilitators. This outlines the consistent approach expected and provides ten modules of resources. This is not a curriculum - the group decides what they want to learn together. Material from other sources may be used if the group agrees.
