Hana Bank signed a business agreement with the Korean Ministry of Education to enhance financial consumers’ digital financial literacy and promote financial consumer protection education to protect financial consumers.
Under the MOU, Hana Bank and the National Institute for Lifelong Education, an organization under the Ministry of Education, will cooperate to protect financial consumers by developing a financial literacy education platform and conducting field trials, developing and distributing digital financial literacy textbooks and learning aids, supporting educational operations to prevent fraud, and protect financial consumers and sponsoring events to promote digital financial literacy education.
In particular, Hana Bank will develop a digital financial literacy textbook that is easy to understand and can provide practical help, based on its know-how to protect financial consumers from new financial fraud crimes such as voice phishing, which are becoming more deceiving and cunning.
In addition, Hana Bank plans to facilitate access to digital finance for the marginalized through the development of an educational platform that enables repeated learning.
To this end, Hana Bank will implement some functions of Hana OneQ App, Hana Bank’s general financial platform, such as inquiries, money transfers and pay utility bills, which are highly utilized in real life, as an educational app.
Hana Bank will sponsor the National Adult Literacy Education Competition, which will be held during Literacy Month in September, to enhance the achievement of non-literate and low-educated adult learners and support the participation of potential learners in education.
“We hope to establish a culture where the digitally disadvantaged can protect themselves through the implementation of customized financial competency training,” said Lee Seung-yeol, president of Hana Bank.
“We will do our best to practice more practical and active financial consumer protection, starting with support for digital financial education.”
