“My Financial Mission”: Raiffeisen launches game for money education

Raiffeisen Bank is launching a game entitled “My Financial Mission”, aimed to prepare young people, specifically between the ages of 11 and 15. 

It is designed to guide youth to understand and use complex financial concepts, such as money management, responsible financial planning, online security and the role of banks in keeping money safe.

To present these concepts in an interactive way, the game involves four interconnected scenario modules, developed on the Minecraft Education platform, through which users help characters accumulate gold nuggets and game-specific coins and make decisions for managing, using and keeping them safe. 

Each module includes interactive missions, information and recommendations regarding the management of accumulated coins, as well as quizzes that contribute to the understanding of how real-life money can be saved, multiplied by interest, invested and kept safe.

My Financial Mission will be used free of charge in schools throughout Romania, as part of a 15-year-old partnership between Raiffeisen Bank and Junior Achievement (JA) Romania. 

Over 3,500 secondary school pupils and their teachers will benefit from this tool.
