Federal Bank Launches 17th Children's Financial Camp with Banking and Zoo Themes

Federal Bank is inviting elementary school students to its 17th annual children's financial literacy camp, a program designed to impart crucial money management skills. This year's camp, themed "Little Financier, Interstellar Financial Management," aims to educate children in grades 4-6 through engaging activities that blend financial knowledge with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

The camp offers two unique experiences in Taipei. The "Bank Day" on August 7th will take children inside a Federal Bank branch. They will get hands-on experience with ATMs, foreign currency exchange, and visit safe deposit boxes. A "Bank Treasure Hunt" scenario will also teach them about financial literacy, fraud prevention, and environmental protection, culminating in a mock newspaper front page detailing their learning.

On August 14th, the "Zoo Day" program partners with the Taipei Zoo. This session extends financial education to ecological sustainability. Children will tour the zoo, learn about conservation efforts for endangered species like the leopard cat, and understand the importance of biodiversity. This initiative integrates financial education with ESG values, fostering a sense of environmental responsibility from a young age.

Federal Bank highlights that the curriculum covers savings, insurance, fraud prevention, credit cards, and mobile payments. While children of account holders can attend for free, a NT$800 fee applies to others. All proceeds from the registration fees will be donated to children's charities and environmental organizations, aligning the bank's financial education outreach with social and environmental causes.
