MBANK conducted financial literacy lessons for schoolchildren and students as part of GMW 2026

From March 30 to April 3, 2026, MBANK implemented the MJunior project within the international Global Money Week 2026 campaign, aimed at improving financial literacy among teenagers in Kyrgyzstan.

On March 30, 2026, the official launch of the campaign took place at Kyrgyz National University named after J. Balasagyn. The event was held under the slogan “Money with wisdom — prosperity in the home.” During the opening, representatives of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Union of Banks held a dialogue with students. MBANK representatives, including Azim Azimov and his daughter, demonstrated the capabilities of the MJunior application for financial planning education.

On March 31, 2026, the educational program continued in Bishkek schools. Interactive financial literacy sessions were held in several schools, including the CashFlow game. Students in grades 6–9 learned the basics of financial planning, the difference between assets and liabilities, principles of investing, and expense management through interactive learning.

According to the students, the events provided practical knowledge on money management and digital tools. Teachers noted the importance of introducing financial literacy as a school subject from an early age.

On April 1, 2026, winners of the school tournaments visited the MBANK IT hub with an area of 14,000 sq. m. Participants were introduced to the internal structure of the bank, including marketing, IT, customer experience, and product development departments. Chairman of the MBANK Management Board, Maksatbek Ishembayev, conducted a tour and spoke about the brand strategy and educational initiatives of the bank.

During the event, students tested the functionality of the MJunior app, including services such as MMarket, MTravel, and MTicket, which allow users to plan purchases and trips through the mobile application.

On April 2, 2026, the educational program was held in the southern capital, the city of Osh. A financial fair at Osh State University gathered more than 600 participants, including students and representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Deposit Protection Agency, and MBANK. Bank experts advised participants on digital security and modern banking products.

The final events took place in Osh schools named after Bokonbaev and Makarenko. Students learned about security features of banknotes, expense control basics, and savings planning methods. CashFlow game sessions allowed participants to practice financial management skills.

According to MBANK, the Global Money Week 2026 activities demonstrated strong demand for financial literacy education initiatives among teenagers and students.
