Personal financial management is important, given uncertainties in both financial and economic environment. However, published research on African Generation Y students’ personal finance behavior and knowledge is limited. This study aimed to evaluate African Generation Y students’ personal finance behavior in terms of their attitudes towards financial planning and whether this cohort believes that they have the skills to manage their finances successfully. In addition, this study sought to evaluate African Generation Y students’ knowledge regarding personal finance. A convenience sample of 500 African students across the campuses of two South African public higher education institutions situated in the Gauteng province was surveyed using structured, self-administered questionnaires. The t-test results indicate that the sample deems the process of planning personal finances and managing credit, insurance, investment, and estate, as important. Moreover, the students scored low in the broad personal finance knowledge areas of basic finance, saving, spending, and debt, suggesting that this cohort is financially illiterate. The results also indicated that the students think they have the financial skillset to manage their personal finances. A high Pearson’s correlation coefficient was noted between sampled participants’ personal finance behavior and their observed personal finance management skillset regarding the relationship between the constructs. However, an insignificant relationship was found between attitudes towards personal finance and financial knowledge and between financial knowledge and African Generation Y students’ apparent finance skills. Understanding African Generation Y students’ personal finance behavior and knowledge, universities and financial institutions can more effectively identify gaps and deficiencies in students’ personal finance endeavors.

The article is devoted to the practical aspects of personal finance management in the context of the transition to digital transformation of the economy. The need to pay attention to this aspect is due to both new opportunities for managing personal finances based on digitalization tools, and the risks of unauthorized access to them using cybernetic means. Summarizing the main sources of threats to personal finance in the context of digitalization is aimed at preventing fraudulent activities and ensuring the protection of financial information carriers. First of all, in a preventive manner, it is proposed to consider the basic problems of personal finance management from the position of accounting and planning of financial resources. The research results are aimed at increasing the financial literacy of the population, preventing encroachments and crimes in the field of personal finance, and, ultimately, at the maximum satisfaction of personal needs. Particular attention is paid to the rules of "personal financial hygiene", which imply organizational and technical measures to protect bank cards, mobile bank, deposits, cash, etc. You should also pay attention to the need to protect personal financial interests from the point of view of checking "financial contacts". An important role in the management of personal finances is played by knowledge of the norms of tax legislation in terms of deductions and benefits for taxes paid by individuals. In this regard, it is necessary to understand not only the legal aspects, but also the capabilities of the information system of relations between taxpayers and the state. It is also proposed to assess the risks of investments for individuals in the context of justifying the individual choice of an option when planning personal finances. All of these aspects are regarded as due diligence rules.

The purpose of the article: the aim of the article is to present the essence of personal finance management using modern financial technologies. The paper seeks to answer the question of the impact financial literacy and the growth of the fintech solutions have on personal financial management. Methodology: the analysis leads to an answer to the question of which determinants have an impact on consumers' financial decisions and what remote tools the market offers. The paper hypothesizes that the intensification of educational activities tailored to each age group by institutions offering financial services may influence the greater use of modern tools in the process of personal finance management. Theoretical considerations are based on an in-depth query of literature on the subject. Research and financial experimentation in the field of financial knowledge and skills are presented. The secondary empirical material is used to analyze the development of the FinTech industry. Results: The effectiveness of financial education is observed only in specific financial behaviors. The financial industry is shaped by recipients, who instead of financial education, look e.g. financial coaching for a specific problem at different stages of their lives. Changes in population structure (aging population) and a large group of customers from disadvantaged groups (e. i. seniors, disabled people) require the development of new, matched strategies by banks and financial services providers. Too much self-confidence and a low level of consumer knowledge of cybersecurity is becoming a challenge for modern financial technologies.
