Cikarang, March 17, 2025 – J Trust Bank continues to be committed to improving financial literacy among the younger generation. On this occasion, J Trust Bank held a financial education program for students of SMK Mitra Industri MM2100 entitled “Financial Intelligence: Managing Needs, Wants, and Preparing for Future Finances”. This activity aims to equip students with a basic understanding of wise personal financial management, including the importance of financial planning, spending management, as well as the concepts of saving and investment.
The activity, which was attended by students of class X majoring in Accounting, provided a basic understanding by making a budget simulation, where they were given a monthly income scenario and asked to develop a financial plan that included needs, wants, savings and investments. Afterwards, participants were also given an introduction to banking products and services that could support them in achieving the financial plans they had previously prepared.
As part of its corporate social responsibility, J Trust Bank continues to strive to improve financial literacy at all levels of society. This educational program is one of the real steps in supporting the younger generation to be smarter and wiser in managing their finances.
With this activity, it is hoped that students will have the skills in managing finances, especially for vocational students, who are the younger generation who are prepared to be ready to work after graduating from school.
