Financial Education

Basic Stance

With economic globalization, the spread of cashless payment, and lowering the legal age of adulthood to 18, there has been considerable change in the financial environment surrounding children, and against a background of youths encountering financial trouble, demand for financial education is growing from all quarters of society.
As a financial institution that is deeply rooted within regional areas, Japan Post Bank believes that it is its social responsibility to teach the children growing up freely in these areas about the importance of money and how to treat it properly.
