Peshawar: Faysal Bank Limited (FBL), a leading Islamic financial institution in Pakistan, has partnered with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for the “Pakistan Financial Literacy Week 2024”. Committed to promoting financial education and inclusivity, FBL supports its commitment to complement SBP’s efforts with this inventive empowerment initiative.
Speaking on the occasion, Faysal Bank President and CEO Yousaf Hussain said, “Financial literacy is a stepping stone to financial inclusion, especially among vulnerable communities. We are also conscious of supporting sustainable development through our expansion strategy. At Faysal Bank, we are strongly committed to the cause of financial education, especially Riba-free Islamic banking, and will continue to complement the government’s and regulator’s focus on deepening financial inclusion.
During Pakistan Financial Literacy Week 2024, Faysal Bank teams will conduct educational camps in five districts of Pakistan, including Abbottabad, Bahawalnagar, Mirpur, Okara and Gilgit, for three consecutive days starting 5 March 2024.
To support the impact of Pakistan’s Financial Literacy Week, volunteers from the Bank will also hold sessions with children from underprivileged schools on how to save money and raise awareness of the digital future of financial institutions. Through the National Financial Literacy Programme, the bank provides its employees with better financial knowledge through an in-house platform, Faysal Ecademy, which offers convenient access to educational resources and supports continuous learning.
