The main fiding which derives from the research is that fiancial literacy of customers on European market is far from the required level. The fiancial literacy level has been found to be affected by fiancial situation, education level, and workplace activity of customers. A signifiant difference in the level of fiancial literacy has been also observed with respect to respondents’ gender, education level and work activity. Financial literacy has signifiantly affected rationality of fiancial decisions of customers. It necessary to underline that the lowest level of fiancial literacy is observed in countries where the fiancial crisis had the strongest influence on economy.

Podstawowym wnioskiem z badań jest to, że wiedza finansowa europejskich konsumentów jest znacznie niższa niż jej pożądany poziom. Okazało się, że na poziom wiedzy finansowej miały wpływ: sytuacja finansowa, poziom edukacji, wykonywany zawód i różne aktywności konsumentów. Znacząca różnica w poziomie wiedzy finansowej została również zaobserwowana w odniesieniu do płci konsumentów, wykształcenia i charakteru ich pracy. Wiedza finansowa znacząco wpływa także na racjonalność decyzji finansowych klientów. Należy podkreślić, że najniższy poziom wiedzy finansowej konsumentów zaobserwowano w krajach, gdzie kryzys finansowy miał najsilniejszy wpływ na gospodarkę.
