In addition to the exhibition, POSB’s service centres are actively visiting various schools across the country.
These visits are designed to provide students with practical knowledge and skills related to financial literacy.
Through interactive sessions and engaging activities, POSB aims to empower students with the understanding they need to make informed financial decisions in the future. This year’s Global Money Week theme, Think Before You Follow, Wise Money Tomorrow, focuses on the importance of developing sound money management skills and recognising emotional triggers in financial decision-making.
The theme highlights the need for young people to critically evaluate information sources, especially in the digital age where financial advice can be influenced by social media and other online platforms.
“As a people’s bank, we are thrilled to be part of Global Money Week and to contribute to the financial education of our youth,” POSB said in a statement.
“By participating in this initiative, we hope to inspire young people to take control of their financial futures and to understand the value of sound financial practices.
“We urge youth to visit our website or service centres to open accounts. We have custom-made products for young people, including Youth Account and JuniorSave account, readily available to them.”
Global Money Week is an initiative of the Child and Youth Finance International movement, which seeks to ensure that all children and youth have access to high-quality financial education.
POSB’s involvement in this event underscores its commitment to fostering financial literacy and inclusion within the Zimbabwean community.
