These initiatives are designed to engage diverse segments of society and foster the adoption of digital financial services.

The week-long event commenced with interactive financial literacy camps held in various locales, including Vehari, Jamshoro, Karachi, and Gujranwala. These camps served as platforms for disseminating financial knowledge and encouraging individuals to embrace banking and digital financial services.

Basir Shamsie, President and CEO of JS Bank, emphasized, “At the core of Financial Literacy Week is our mission to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed for sound financial decision-making. Through a series of activities, we aim to spark a national dialogue on financial matters, break down financial barriers, and instill positive financial behaviors.”
