[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Shinhan Bank announced on the 6th that it has implemented a financial education program for elementary school students called 'Shinhan Solvers Meta Financial Story,' utilizing a metaverse (extended virtual world) platform.

Shinhan Solvers Meta Financial Story is a financial education program implemented on a metaverse platform that allows participating elementary school students to safely engage in education from home and interact with each other in a fun way while easily learning about finance.

Since 2015, Shinhan Bank has been operating a representative ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) program called 'Shinhan Bank Children's Financial Experience Classroom' to deliver proper financial knowledge to elementary school students. Following the 'Children's Online Bank Exploration' using video conferencing platforms after COVID-19, it has now prepared the first financial education program for children in the financial sector utilizing the metaverse.

Elementary school students participating in Shinhan Solvers Meta Financial Story communicated with each other through avatars on the metaverse platform and enjoyed programs such as ▲the necessity of saving ▲investment stories ▲investment games ▲financial OX quizzes, experiencing the metaverse in an enjoyable way while acquiring financial knowledge.

This financial education was conducted on the metaverse platform Gather Town, and Shinhan Bank plans to implement various financial education programs for different generations on its self-developed metaverse platform in the future.

A Shinhan Bank official stated, "We will continue to develop engaging financial education content using digital technology, including expanding Shinhan Solvers Meta Financial Story."
