On the 25th, the Korea Federation of Banks announced on the 26th that it held the first-ever 'Challenge! Golden Bell' event at the aT Center in Yangjae, Seoul, to widely promote the 'Senior Digital Financial Education' program based on the Federation's social contribution platform BANKiT.

Participants took quizzes on various topics such as how to use mobile banking and how to respond to financial fraud, reviewing what they learned in the 'Senior Digital Financial Education' program. A congratulatory event was also held for 36 quasi-senior instructors who graduated from the 'Senior Instructor Training Course.'

Cho Yong-byeong, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Banks, said, "We will continue to provide senior-tailored education and service opportunities together with banks, leading the practice of inclusive finance so that no generation is left behind in the digital-centered financial environment and everyone can enjoy convenience."

The 'Senior Digital Financial Education' is a social contribution project for seniors initiated by the Korea Federation of Banks in collaboration with 20 domestic banks as part of the 'Banking Sector Joint Social Responsibility Enhancement Project' launched last year.

By April of this year, 320 digital financial education sessions were conducted for a total of 5,129 elderly learners aged 65 and over through 40 senior welfare institutions. The learners studied ▲ how to use mobile banking such as transfers and non-face-to-face account opening ▲ practical financial tips like finding dormant accounts and comparing interest rates ▲ prevention and response methods to financial fraud targeting the elderly. Additionally, senior instructors who completed the senior instructor training course attempted job creation through 'No-No (老老) Care,' where senior instructors guide senior learners.

On the Korea Federation of Banks' social contribution platform BANKiT, related information such as how to apply for education can be found, and through the jointly prepared '1090 Digital Financial Classroom,' anyone can learn about digital finance for free or take quizzes to measure their understanding.
