Dispatching Professional Instructors to Over 20 Self-Sufficiency Centers in Gyeongnam by December
Supporting Financial Education Programs
BNK Gyeongnam Bank announced on the 18th that it will conduct the 'Pogeunpogeun Financial Education' program in collaboration with the Gyeongnam Regional Self-Sufficiency Center.
The name 'Pogeunpogeun Financial Education' combines the meaning of learning the 'fundamentals' of finance as part of inclusive finance ('Po'yong Geumyung), and also signifies financial education that serves as the 'root' ('Geun') enabling individuals to rise on their own without giving up ('Po'gi).
BNK Gyeongnam Bank plans to dispatch professional financial education instructors to more than 20 self-sufficiency centers in Gyeongsangnam-do by December to conduct the Pogeunpogeun Financial Education program.
The professional financial education instructors will provide customized financial education for self-sufficiency under the theme of 'Wise Asset Management.'
Kim Kyungok, Executive Director in charge of Financial Consumer Protection, said, "Self-sufficiency centers play a very important role by providing intensive and systematic self-sufficiency support services to vulnerable groups with work ability, thereby enhancing their motivation and capacity for self-reliance. We are pleased to provide long-term, customized financial education to members of the Gyeongnam Regional Self-Sufficiency Center. We will continue to plan and support various financial education programs for financially vulnerable groups in the future."
Park Ilhyun, Director of the Gyeongnam Regional Self-Sufficiency Center, said, "We are grateful to BNK Gyeongnam Bank, the leading financial institution in the region, for taking the initiative to support the independence and self-sufficiency of vulnerable groups in the community. Starting with this financial education program, we will continue to collaborate on various projects in the future."
BNK Gyeongnam Bank and the Gyeongnam Regional Self-Sufficiency Center held a meeting on financial education and hosted the 'Pogeunpogeun Financial Education Launch Ceremony' at the Gyeongnam Regional Self-Sufficiency Center (located in Dong-eup, Uichang-gu, Changwon City).
Meanwhile, during the first quarter of this year, BNK Gyeongnam Bank provided customized financial education to various financially vulnerable groups, including children aging out of care, youth preparing for independence, foreign workers, and the elderly.
