We believe financial education is a superpower and we are thrilled to cultivate it in every generation – from curious students to ambitious young adults and knowledge-hungry seniors. This year, once again, maib has joined the #GlobalMoneyWeek2025 initiative, turning financial education into memorable and accessible experiences.
What is Global Money Week? Global Money Week (GMW) is a global initiative promoting financial education among young people. It aims to equip them with the necessary tools to make informed decisions, from effective budgeting to recognizing fraud. Every year, hundreds of organizations worldwide support this campaign by conducting educational activities that develop essential financial skills for the future.
Year after year, maib has actively participated in Global Money Week, launching impactful projects and adapting initiatives to meet the real needs of various audiences. Here are some of the activities organized for #GlobalMoneyWeek2025, held between March 17-23:
- Financial education lesson for law students: Future legal professionals explored how banking is becoming increasingly digital, AI is transforming the industry, and how to identify valuable financial advice amidst the vast online information. They also discussed banking contracts with maib experts and discovered that financial education is essential in any field.
- Expanding financial vocabulary – the crossword challenge: to engage with followers on maib and maib edu pages while enhancing their financial vocabulary, we launched a crossword featuring banking terms – an interactive and fun way to learn about money.
- Bank employees’ experiences – first salaries and financial decisions: maib employees took on the challenges of sharing their stories about their first salaries and economic aspirations. From initial savings to bold plans, each experience offers a valuable lesson on building a healthy relationship with money.
- Maib helps young students from Chișinău make informed financial decisions: At maib park, fifth-grade students from “Vasile Vasilache” Theoretical High School experienced banking differently – through curiosity-driven questions, practical experiences, and interactive activities.
- Debunking financial myths in a fun and accessible way: Many financial mistakes stem from fear generated by money-related myths or a lack of knowledge. We analyzed the most common financial myths and provided clarity so that our audience can make better-informed decisions.
- Seniors embracing digital banking and modern financial services: Because financial education is valuable at any age, we create learning opportunities for both young students and seniors. At the Municipal Center for Adult Learning and Education, seniors discovered how to use the maibank app, protect themselves from fraud, and navigate the modern financial world more easily.
- Contests and prizes for our community: Financial education is even more exciting with surprises! We organized a special giveaway in which participants had the chance to win to power banks, keeping them connected to banking opportunities and beyond. On March 23, we announced the lucky winners, and the surprises reached their well-deserved recipients.
#GlobalMoneyWeek2025 has once again shown us that financial education is an essential investment in the future. We are grateful to everyone who took part in our initiatives! We will continue to support generations of informed individuals ready to make the best financial decisions.
