Shinhan Bank "Experience Bank Branches in AR"

Shinhan Bank Conducts Mobile Financial Experience Classroom

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Shinhan Bank announced on the 17th that it will conduct visiting financial experience classes, ‘Shinhan Bank is Coming! Dream Expedition Team’ and ‘A Mysterious Bank Came to Our School,’ to deliver proper financial knowledge to children and adolescents.

The visiting financial experience class is a customized career experience education program that Shinhan Bank has been conducting annually since 2015. It visits elementary and middle schools in remote island and mountainous areas without nearby banks to provide bank clerk job experience education and financial education.

There are two programs tailored by age: ‘A Mysterious Bank Came to Our School’ for elementary students and ‘Shinhan Bank is Coming! Dream Expedition Team’ for middle school students.

Especially this year, the visiting financial experience class will be conducted for child care facilities recommended by the Seoul Child Independence Support Project Group, targeting financially marginalized groups who have difficulty accessing financial education and communities struggling due to COVID-19. Starting with ‘Gangdong Kkumma Village,’ the program plans to visit child care facilities and rural schools nationwide.

Participants can experience the bank clerk job using a mobile branch (Bangbird) that provides the same environment as a bank branch. In addition to financial board games, immersive digital financial education is conducted through virtual bank branch visits using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, as well as puzzle games utilizing QR codes.

A Shinhan Bank official said, “We have prepared various and fun programs for students in child care facilities and remote island and mountainous areas,” and added, “We will continue various social contribution activities including the financial experience classes.”
