Depok, 28 April 2024 - As part of efforts to increase financial literacy specifically among the younger generation, Bank MAS carries out CSR activities in collaboration with Save Street Child (SSC) by providing donations and education on "How to Save from an Early Age" in the Depok area, on Sunday 28 April 2024. This activity was attended by approximately 30 children aged 12-20 years.
The donation distributed to Save Street Child worth IDR 30 million was the result of the participation of Bank MAS customers who made transactions on MAS Mobile during the month of Ramadan in the Ramadan Donation of Kindness program #CelebrateStepNew, where each transaction made was equivalent to a donation worth IDR 1,000.
"We hope that in the future a similar program can be carried out with a wider impact and in other areas, so that education can be provided evenly regarding the importance of managing finances from an early age. "This is part of Bank MAS' mission to support healthy financial growth for the younger generation," said Anisa Esa Riani as Head of the Brand Communications Division.
