Toss Partners with National Center for the Rights of the Child for Financial Education of Extended Care Youths

The Only Private Financial Company Partner in Education
Participating in Independence Camps in Gwangju, Busan, and Seoul
Financial Education for 150 Extended Care Youths

Toss announced on August 10 that it will participate as the sole financial education partner from the private financial sector in the "2026 Extended Care Youth Independence Camp" hosted by the National Center for the Rights of the Child.

Toss will provide practical financial education to about 150 participants, including extended care youths and those about to exit the care system. The program covers saving and investing, responsible spending and credit management, and the prevention of financial fraud—essential skills for achieving self-reliance.

The independence camp for extended care youths, hosted by the National Center for the Rights of the Child, is designed to strengthen self-reliance capabilities and support the building of social support systems for both extended care and at-risk youths. This year, the program will run in three regions—Gwangju, Busan, and Seoul—offering a variety of educational sessions covering career planning, daily life, and finance, all aimed at fostering independence. Toss is participating as the only private financial company partner, taking responsibility for the area of financial education.

For young people beginning their lives after leaving care, understanding consumption, saving, credit management, and asset-building is critical as they initiate their own financial activities. Recently, as financial scams targeting the younger generation have diversified—including voice phishing, investment chat rooms on social media, illegal refinancing schemes, and identity theft—the importance of understanding finance and making independent assessments has grown.

In response, Toss has designed real-life oriented financial education to help participants build practical skills they can use throughout their journey to independence.

The program includes sessions on youth-tailored financial products, tax-saving and asset-building methods; education on responsible spending habits and credit management; and information on the latest types of financial fraud and how to prevent them. Toss team members will participate directly as instructors. The education sessions will be held in Gwangju (August 11), Busan (August 21), and Seoul (August 25).

A Toss representative stated, "We will continue to offer a diverse range of financial education programs to help young people preparing for independence build the capacity to understand finance and make their own decisions."
