Bank of Baku’s latest financial literacy event took place in Shirvan
Aiming to contribute to the development of a financially literate society for the future, Bank of Baku has carried out another financial literacy initiative in the region.
Nearly 100 students participated in an event organized by the bank at Secondary School No. 10 (named after Elchin Imanov) in the city of Shirvan. The event consisted of two stages, beginning with a training session on financial literacy for the students.
Ismayil Mammadov, Deputy Director of the bank’s SME Banking Department, educated the students on the history of money, effective ways to manage it, key financial concepts, and safety guidelines for making cashless payments.
In the second stage, 25 students—representing four different schools in Shirvan—competed in teams during an intellectual contest focused on financial literacy. At the conclusion of the competition, the bank awarded prizes and certificates to the winners, as well as to all other participants. As part of the event, the booklet "Omar’s Introduction to Payment Cards"—developed by Bank of Baku in collaboration with the Azerbaijan Banks Association, AzFina, and VISA for primary school students—was donated to the library of School No. 10. The publication aims to help children become familiar with payment cards and financial concepts from an early age.
It should be noted that, in addition to initiatives for children, Bank of Baku has also conducted financial literacy training for older adults and female entrepreneurs. The bank considers the promotion of financial literacy to be a key component of its corporate social responsibility efforts.
