Auckland, 29 April 2008 – Online media company MSN has joined the campaign for improving the nation’s financial literacy, launching a personal finance website designed to help Kiwis take better control of their finances.

MSN Money money.msn.co.nz offers a range of tools, independent advice, and savings and investment planning to help average Kiwis deal with everyday financial challenges.

Local financial commentators Lisa Dudson (the creator of TV3’s The Money Man) and finance journalist Diana Clement, together with the New Zealand Retirement Commission service sorted.org.nz and local trading company Direct Broking, bring a strong local flavour to MSN Money. International partners include Reuters, Forbes, and consumer product information service, RateCity.

“Kiwis are passionate about money, but as a nation of proven big spenders we’re a bit skinny on savings and future planning. So it’s great to launch a service that will help Kiwis to save more faster and make better decisions about their financial futures,” says MSN business manager Liz Fraser.

MSN Money categories include: MyMoney – a starting point for making quick savings, superannuation and planning, money expert, property, latest financial news, tools and calculators, and investing.
