Polaris Bank has continued to deepen its financial advocacy role of educating and inculcating in young Nigerians the culture of savings, investment and financial awareness during the 2023 Global Money Week (GMW) event.
The
week-long activity, which kicked off last Monday, March 20, and ended on
Sunday, March 26, 2023, had 'Plan Your Money, Plant Your Future', as its theme.
The
Financial Literacy sensitization campaign is an annual programme organized
worldwide to raise awareness and sensitize students on the need to be
financially independent and empowered. Employees of the Bank visited schools
across the country to speak on financial literacy and allow teens and students
to gain knowledge and understanding of topics such as: how money works, how
someone can earn or make money as well as money management, including -
planning and budgeting - and how to invest money, amongst others.
Polaris
Bank, in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria and program execution
Partner, Junior Achievement of Nigeria (JAN), reached and educated over 4000
students in 37 Schools across Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT). Polaris Bank Senior officials, during the campaign, interacted with
students and teachers to commemorate the GMW and donated books to the libraries
of all the schools they visited.
Global
Money Week is an annual global awareness-raising campaign on the importance of
ensuring that young people, from an early age, are financially aware and are
gradually acquiring the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors necessary to
make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve economic well-being and
financial resilience. The activities for the 2023 GMW were observed in all
branches of Polaris Bank nationwide.
Through
its numerous CSR and social investment initiatives, Polaris Bank, in addition
to rolling out innovative banking products and services for customers across
different strata, has demonstrated a commitment to enhancing the quality of
life for Nigerians outside of its traditional function of providing financial
services.
Polaris
Bank is a future-determining Bank redefining banking products and services that
meet the needs of individuals and businesses. The Bank was adjudged Digital
Bank of the Year in 2021 and 2022.
