Intensive Training Period from October to November
Educational Sessions with 16 Banks
53% of All Sessions Held Outside the Seoul Metropolitan Area
In recognition of Senior Citizens' Day on October 2, the Financial Supervisory Service, in collaboration with the banking sector, will launch a focused education period aimed at preventing digital financial exclusion and financial fraud among the elderly.
The Financial Supervisory Service announced that, from October to November, it will conduct a total of 292 educational sessions nationwide for seniors, in partnership with 16 banks.
To promote regional education, 53% of the sessions (155 in total) will be held outside the Seoul metropolitan area. A variety of programs will be offered, including 98 hands-on experience center sessions, 41 digital learning center sessions, and 153 on-site financial education sessions.
Bank experience center sessions will be conducted at senior-focused branches, covering topics such as how to use digital devices (including mobile banking and kiosks), preventing financial fraud, and managing retirement assets safely.
The on-site financial education program involves professional instructors from the Financial Supervisory Service and banks visiting senior welfare facilities across the country. These sessions are delivered in a one-on-one customized, hands-on format and offer practical programs such as asset management to help with daily life.
The Financial Supervisory Service plans to continue developing and providing educational programs and content on various topics, such as digital financial education and retirement asset management, to enhance financial literacy among the elderly. In addition, those unable to participate in this round of training can apply for on-demand visits through the Financial Supervisory Service's 'e-Financial Education Center,' or access a range of educational materials and videos designed for seniors.
