2015 Financial Literacy Week

Kitwe branch commemorated financial literacy week on a good note and in a unique style. Kitwe Branch hosted 50 pupils aged between 6 and 17 years from a local renowned Private School called Margaret Memorial School. This was a twofold event, education tour for the school and commemoration of International Financial Literacy week during which our own members of staff, clients and the pupils were sensitize on the importance of savings and the negative impact of FRAUD. Furthermore, FINCA’s financial literacy team shared information on career development and opportunities in FINCA and elsewhere.

Mr Shamutete, the School Director who accompanied his pupils was so impressed with the number of products and services that FINCA is offering such that he could not hold back his excitement and joined his own pupils in asking familiarization questions to learn even more about FINCA.

Here are some of the comments we got from the pupils:
“I want to work for FINCA in future”
“I thought you only give money. So you are also a bank?”
“Show me where you manufacture the money you give out”
