MoneyMaster targets youth education at Global Money Week

MoneyMaster Payment Service Bank Limited (MMPSB), Nigeria’s top payment service bank, is commemorating the 2024 Global Money Week by focusing on educating youngsters on financial literacy.

This year’s edition of the Global Money Week is being held from March 18 to 24, 2024. The goal of Global Money Week (GMW) is to raise awareness about the value of making sure that young people are financially literate from an early age and gradually acquire the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour needed to make wise financial decisions and eventually achieve financial well-being.

The focus of the 2024 edition, “Protect Your Money, Secure Your Future,” is responsible money handling. It emphasizes how crucial it is to handle personal finance responsibly and intelligently by guarding one’s hard-earned money and being aware of any potential hazards in the financial industry.

MMPSB is embarking on a “Catch them Young” experiential campaign to teach kids in schools the importance of savings and investment culture. About 5,000 students are to be engaged through the week-long financial literacy programme which will be done through the bank’s coordinating centres across 10 states.

In addition, the MoneyMaster team will also engage teachers and enlighten them on basic knowledge of savings and investment for future purposes.

“As part of the week-long celebration, MoneyMaster PSB will also be releasing thought leadership videos on safety and security on how banking customers can protect themselves. These videos will be shared to its customers via direct email and also on its social media handles for the benefit of the general public”, the bank explained.

MMPSB restated its commitment to the provision of top-notch banking services to its customers at all times, including payment services through wallets, savings, individual and business accounts, as well as provision of a platform for customers to buy airtime/data, pay bills and subscribe to cable television, amongst others.
