Financial Management Takes Roots in Rural Education through Education and Games

The "Yuanta Financial Management Day" has been held since 2018, aiming to reach schools in remote areas across Taiwan to promote inclusive financial education. The goal is to help rural children develop basic financial concepts, work toward widespread financial knowledge, and implement the concept of financial friendliness.

The Yuanta Cultural and Educational Foundation has designed three sets of educational board games combining financial knowledge. Employees from the Group volunteer as instructors, communicating money concepts through an educational and fun approach. Additionally, "Yuanta Financial Management Camps" are organized to share knowledge about banking operations, such as deposits, foreign exchange, fraud prevention, and insurance. Over the past seven years, a total of 1,062 rural children have benefited from these initiatives.
