"This program reflects the importance we give to enabling future generations to be more financially literate through CSR initiatives that aim to enhance the knowledge and education of the younger and future generation."

Students and staff at Sharifa Al Awadhi high School appreciated this initiative which allowed the Bank's staff to interact directly with students and address their queries about the world of banking.
