DHAKA: To help people learn about daily transactions, income-expense planning, savings, loans, investments, insurance, and managing emergency funds—along with staying safe in financial dealings—online learning platform 10 Minute School and the country’s largest mobile financial service provider bKash have launched a free special course. Designed to make people of all backgrounds, especially the youth, more skilled, aware, and secure in financial management, the course includes 25 educational videos across five modules, a press release said.
As in developed countries, digital transactions are increasing in Bangladesh. The use of Mobile Financial Services (MFS) and other digital financial tools has already begun to change habits, especially among youth. In the journey toward a cashless Bangladesh, understanding digital financial management has become essential. The course is structured with simple tips and fundamental information to prepare users for tech-based transactions.
Recently, 10 Minute School hosted a live event on its Facebook page to inaugurate the course titled “MoneyGyani: Digital Financial Mastery.” The five modules are “Introduction to Money, Transactions, and Income-Expense”, “A Bit of Personal Finance for Yourself”, “Financial Transactions in the Digital World”, “Digital Financial Security” and “Advanced Financial Literacy for Responsible Citizens”. Instructors include Ayman Sadiq and experts from 10 Minute School and bKash. After watching the video sessions, participants can test their understanding through simple Q&A segments. Upon completion, participants will receive a digital certificate.
