The present study aimed to study financial literacy using dimensions such as financial knowledge, behaviour, and attitude. The financial knowledge of the respondents was gauged using respondents’ awareness and usage of the financial services. The financial behaviour of the Bahraini youth is positive and encouraging. There is positive correlation between age and financial services usage and the relationship between education and financial services’ usage is also low. The financial behaviour and attitude among the Bahraini youth is not poor, but it needs attention from the different stakeholders, including educators, government, and NGOs to achieve the Vision-2030 objectives of the government.
