[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] BNK Gyeongnam Bank has been selected as an institution that developed and operated an excellent financial education program.

BNK Gyeongnam Bank announced on the 1st that it received the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) Commissioner’s Award in the ‘17th Financial Contest’ hosted by the Financial Supervisory Service in recognition of its contribution to revitalizing financial education.

The Financial Contest is an event organized by the Financial Supervisory Service to raise the public’s understanding and interest in finance and financial education, activate school financial education, and promote the discovery and dissemination of excellent financial education programs.

The program selected as excellent, ‘Chick Financial Education Visiting Kindergartens,’ is a financial education program with the concept of “Let’s Play with Money,” including activities that children enjoy such as songs, rhythmic movements, and games, so that children can easily and familiarly learn about money and savings.

This year, BNK Gyeongnam Bank, in collaboration with the FSS Gyeongnam Branch, conducted the Chick Financial Education Visiting Kindergartens program a total of 10 times, receiving positive responses from kindergarten teachers and about 200 preschool children.

Moreover, it has contributed to the revitalization of financial education by developing various financial education contents such as SNS financial education, and in 2022, it conducted about 500 sessions of one-company-one-school and financial education for financially vulnerable groups.

Lee Jung-won, Executive Director in charge of Financial Consumer Protection, said, “Financial education learned from an early age is very helpful for children to establish a proper economic perspective. Based on this, we developed the Chick Financial Education Visiting Kindergartens program. BNK Gyeongnam Bank will continue to strive to provide quality financial education to local residents, including preschool children.”
