"Feel Free to Share Financial Education" FSC Revamps e-Financial Education Center

On the 8th, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced that it has enhanced the services of the integrated financial education platform 'e-Financial Education Center' to function as a user-friendly platform.

First, to activate content sharing, FSS established an open Application Programming Interface (API). This API query service allows anyone to conveniently deliver content and programs. Through the API query, financial education content from the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency is also brought to the e-Financial Education Center website.

Shin Dong-ho, head of the Financial Education Planning Team at the FSS Financial Education Bureau, explained, "Previously, financial education materials within the e-Financial Education Center could only be delivered via email, so sharing content and programs was not smooth. We want to open the storehouse to share financial education materials frequently with other institutions."

Additionally, a unified search bar was newly installed on the main screen, and the menu system was reorganized to enhance user accessibility and convenience. A bulletin board (intermediary platform) connecting institutions planning financial education and professional financial education instructors will also be opened. When a financial education demand institution posts a message, notification emails are automatically sent to instructors.

Financial education for children and adolescents will also be activated. Until now, participants of the 'FSS Children’s Financial School' submitted assignments for each session via the Naver Cafe, but going forward, they can use the learning management system without needing to join the Naver Cafe. Data on the status of partnerships related to the 'One Company One School Financial Education' program will also be expanded. Previously, only information on partnered schools was provided, but after the reorganization, lists of unpartnered schools by region and schools in the process of partnership will also be available. The One Company One School Financial Education program refers to a program where financial company branches nationwide form partnerships with nearby elementary, middle, and high schools to provide financial education.

Furthermore, FSS revamped the financial consumer information portal 'FINE' to enable financial consumers to easily and quickly access the financial information they need. They added menus for guidance materials related to financial consumer protection and for receiving complaints and reports, and plan to reorganize the menu system to allow efficient information exploration.
