Consumers' activities for saving and choices of financial assets must influence the national economy seriously. However, at present, consumers are not able to find out the best way to manage their financial assets. This might be because consumers can not obtain enough information to utilize it properly for the management of their assets. This paper analyses the consumer's consciousness of financial information, their use of information technology and practical use of financial information. Through questionnaires, this paper clarifies the meanings of information technology and information itself which enable consumers to make effective use of financial information and to lead financial activities appropriately with information technology.
It was suggested that in order to use financial information and information technology effectively, consumer education to enhance the consciousness on general information and information-related activities is more important than to teach technical knowledge on financial information or techniques of information technology.
