SDG-16: Representatives of Otbasy Bank provided information to students about financial opportunities

On January 29, an information meeting on the "National Fund for Children" project was held at our university with the participation of representatives of Otbasy Bank. Students of the Faculty of International Relations born in 2006-2007 attended the event, who received detailed information about the opportunities offered within the framework of the project and answered their questions.
During the meeting, Otbasy Bank specialists provided students with detailed information about the project and answered their questions. The "National Fund for Children" project, which began to be implemented in 2024, provides for the opening of special savings accounts for children and adolescents under the age of 18 in the country. The funds allocated from the National Fund will be spent annually on the future needs of children, these funds will be directed to education, the purchase of housing, medical services and other important needs.
The main participants of the meeting were students born in 2006-2007, because they will soon turn 18 and will have the opportunity to use the accumulated funds for various purposes in the future. In this regard, specialists from Otbasy Bank explained to students the procedure and benefits of opening savings accounts and showed them how to use their funds properly. Students asked questions that interested them and received clear and complete answers from specialists.
The students who participated in the event assessed the meeting as very useful and said that they received the necessary information to plan their financial future. They understood how to open a savings account, and students who had not yet opened an account were offered the opportunity to open a new account. Bank specialists explained all stages of this process in detail.
This information meeting was an important step that will help students improve their financial literacy, effectively use state support, and properly plan their future. Such events will undoubtedly teach young people to understand financial issues from an early age and effectively manage their finances.
