Financial education

We believe that continuous education is fundamental for our current and future clients to have a good understanding of the world of finance and the causes and consequences of various decisions in this area. This is why we run financial education programmes aimed at different age groups.

Project "Finansiaki"

This is our original economic education project, aimed at teachers and parents of children aged 3 to 14. It consists of:

Guidebook "Finansiaki to my"

Our guide is aimed at parents and carers who want to talk and teach their children about finance responsibly from an early age.
During the pandemic, in support of those who stayed at home to care for their children, we published an electronic version of the book. The e-book is now available for download at www.finansiaki.pl.

Lesson scripts for volunteers

For several years, the bank's employees have been able to run classes in kindergartens and schools based on lesson scripts specially prepared for them (as described in the 2019 Financial Education-Santander Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019).

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions made it impossible to carry out the lessons as before, so in order to maintain interaction with parents and teachers and to continue educating the youngest, the project was moved to social media. In the future, we are planning to return to the classrooms.

''Finansiaki To My'' Facebook page

The “Finansiaki to my” Facebook page was launched in December 2020. The posts are intended to inspire FB users, facilitate financial education for children at home or school and encourage them to use the educational materials available on www.finansiaki.pl.

Transparent artwork referring to financial topics can be a starting point for many interesting conversations with the youngest, e.g. about what money is, where it comes from, why things cost money and why it is so important to save money. The messages are divided into two target groups – parents and teachers. Teachers are offered lesson scripts while parents can read articles with tips for holding conversations and ideas for games and activities.

"The power of habit or why financial education is important" Webinar

In October 2020, on the occasion of World Saving Day, we prepared and launched the webinar „The power of habit or why financial education is important”. Our experts were the authors of the guide, Paweł Oksanowicz and Dr Agata Trzcińska, as well as Monika Rozbicka-Szlosek, leader of the  Bank’s Savings and Investments Tribe. They discussed, among others, the impact of habits acquired in childhood on financial decisions taken in adult life and why it is worth teaching children to save money from an early age.
