In particular, the instructor provided case-based education tailored to the perspective of young adults, enabling service members to systematically manage the assets they accumulate during their military service and concretely design their financial goals for life after discharge.

The program also explained the characteristics of financial investment products such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, and TDFs; key points to consider when investing; how to utilize tax-saving products for young people; and the importance of credit and methods for managing it.

Kim Kyung-ok, Executive Vice President in charge of financial consumer protection, stated, “We hope this program helps service members develop the right perspective on finance and strengthen their ability to manage their own assets. We have delivered practical financial knowledge to help them prepare for a stable post-discharge life. BNK Kyongnam Bank will continue to expand its tailored financial education programs aimed at improving financial capability and protecting financial consumers.”

Meanwhile, BNK Kyongnam Bank, in cooperation with Gyeongsangnam-do Province, is currently conducting a financial education program themed “Gyeongnam Where Youth Stay, A Future Filled With Finance.” Until September, specialist financial education instructors will be dispatched sequentially to 12 cities and counties within the region to provide financial education to a total of approximately 300 local young people.
