FSS to Train Military Financial Education Instructors... Launches First-Half Training Program

Financial Training for 34 Defense Finance Officers
Focus on Asset Management and Gambling Prevention Education

The Financial Supervisory Service announced that it will conduct the "Financial Training for Defense Finance Officers" for the first half of 2026 over four days starting April 20, targeting 34 finance officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and directly affiliated units under the Ministry of National Defense.

Due to recent changes in the military service environment, such as the increase in soldiers' salaries and the allowance of mobile phone use, there has been a growing demand for education on asset management methods and financial fraud prevention. In particular, as service members are increasingly exposed to financial risks such as illegal gambling and high-risk virtual asset investments, the importance of financial education for sound asset formation has become even greater.

In response, the Financial Supervisory Service expanded the scope of the training participants last year from only finance officers to include other finance-related personnel such as military civil servants, and increased the number of training sessions from once to twice per year.

The curriculum covers understanding finance, systems supporting inclusive finance, lecture techniques, and education to prevent indiscriminate virtual asset investments. In addition, a new course on "prevention of illegal gambling and sound asset management" has been added in response to the recent issue of internet gambling among service members.

The Financial Supervisory Service will conduct a financial education instructor certification assessment for those who wish among the training graduates, and will award a "Military Service Member Financial Education Instructor Certificate" in the name of the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service to those who pass.

An official from the Financial Supervisory Service stated, "Finance officers who complete the training will provide education to service members who have limited access to financial education, thereby improving their financial literacy," and added, "The Financial Supervisory Service plans to actively support the revitalization of financial education in the military by continuously providing a variety of financial education content to military units."
