We are very pleased to be involved in the planning of the work experience app "Manebuu". au Jibun Bank is committed to financial education for children under the theme of "youth development". We hope that through Manebuu, children will not only experience how money works, but will also have the opportunity to learn about the fun of learning about money through the games in our branches.
Maneboo is a fun way for children to learn about money and society, and a great opportunity for parents and children to communicate with each other.
