Shinhan Bank Receives Financial Supervisory Service Governor's Award for 'One Company One School Financial Education' Program

[Asia Economy Reporter Haeyoung Kwon] Shinhan Bank announced on the 27th that it received the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) Commissioner’s Award in both the Excellent Financial Company category and the Excellent Financial Company Employee category at the '2019 One Company One School Financial Education Best Practices Awards Ceremony' hosted by the Financial Supervisory Service.

The FSS canceled the scheduled awards ceremony to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and instead distributed a video containing the FSS Commissioner’s congratulatory speech and interviews with the award recipients.

The One Company One School financial education program is a program in which financial companies’ headquarters and branches nationwide form partnerships with nearby elementary, middle, and high schools to provide various educational programs. The education aims to enhance financial literacy and promote proper financial usage. Every year, the FSS selects and awards financial companies, employees, schools, and teachers who have actively participated in the One Company One School financial education program and contributed to the development of financial education.

Shinhan Bank actively participated in the One Company One School financial education program through ▲ customized financial education tailored to the needs of each recipient, ▲ development and provision of diverse and engaging educational content, and ▲ financial stories vividly shared by branch employees. In particular, in 2019, Shinhan Bank was recognized for producing and performing a musical themed on financial education to deliver practical financial knowledge in an engaging way to middle and high school students, earning the FSS Commissioner’s Award in the Excellent Financial Company category. In the Excellent Financial Company Employee category, Yoon Jonghan, Manager of the Social Contribution Department, received the FSS Commissioner’s Award for contributing to the activation of the One Company One School financial education program.

A Shinhan Bank official said, "We are pleased and grateful to have our efforts to continuously deliver practical financial knowledge recognized," adding, "We will continue to actively participate in the One Company One School financial education program and strive to lead warm, customer-centered financial practices."

Meanwhile, Shinhan Bank plans to reopen the Youth Financial Education Center, currently closed for environmental improvement construction, as a Future Finance Experience Space in the first half of the year, providing children and youth with newer and more systematic experiential financial education programs.
