12 Programs Scheduled for the First Week of November
Consumers, Financial Services Commission, and Financial Supervisory Service to Participate
Hyundai Card announced on October 29 that it will hold the 'Consumer-Centric Week' (Sojung Hanjoo), a financial consumer protection campaign, from November 3 to 7.
This is the second year of the campaign. There will be 12 programs, including a consumer panel roundtable held in cooperation with financial authorities, financial consumer education, and a company-wide session on understanding the Financial Consumer Protection Act.
First, the '2025 Financial Consumer Panel Roundtable' will be held. Now in its ninth year, this event will be attended by not only Hyundai Card consumer panel members but also officials from the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.
Financial consumer protection education for teenagers and financially vulnerable groups will take place daily.
Hyundai Card's consumer protection staff will visit special education schools as well as elementary, middle, and high schools to provide financial education for youth. Since 2015, Hyundai Card has signed one-company-one-school agreements with schools nationwide, providing financial education to approximately 21,000 teenagers over 740 sessions. Earlier this year, the company received an award from the head of the Financial Supervisory Service.
This time, Hyundai Card will visit five schools, including Cheonan Neulhaerang School, Seoul Seonil Elementary School, and Ilsan Baekseok Middle School, over five days. Financial education will be provided to about 700 students. In addition to basic financial literacy, the program will also include activities to help students safely use financial products and services.
There will also be a financial education program for seniors. Hyundai Card will visit local welfare centers to provide the 'Challenge Golden Bell' program, which focuses on preventing financial fraud.
Hyundai Card will also continue efforts to raise awareness of financial consumer protection among its employees. A company-wide quiz competition on the Financial Consumer Protection Act will be held to improve understanding, and the achievements of outstanding consumer protection teams and employees will be shared and recognized.
Company-wide inspections and educational activities related to financial consumer protection will also be conducted. In addition to the headquarters, employees at major business sites will be introduced to various case studies aimed at strengthening the prevention of incomplete sales. A pre-checklist for consumer protection will be distributed and training will be provided.
A Hyundai Card representative said, "For the past decade, we have consistently carried out activities related to financial consumer protection. Now, by systematizing these efforts, we have planned this campaign to further enhance member rights and interests. Going forward, Hyundai Card employees will continue to communicate with members and financial authorities to maintain and expand financial consumer protection activities."
