New Partnership for Financial Literacy

Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions (KBBS) and Aflatoun International, a global leader in innovative financial literacy ecosystems, have announced a new partnership to explore and develop new ways to enable access to financial literacy resources, using banknotes as a tool.

According to the two companies, more than 3 billion people worldwide do not possess adequate financial literacy skills to actively contribute to national socioeconomic development and most importantly, their own quality of life improvement.

KBBS has recognised the importance of empowering young minds with knowledge and, through the collaboration with Aflatoun, aims to leverage its expertise in printing technology to support the production and distribution of high-quality educational materials for Aflatoun’s programs worldwide.

The two companies say that their partnership represents a significant step toward expanding access to educational resources and ensuring that young people across the globe can develop vital financial literacy skills.

Underpinning this partnership is iLearn, a new platform developed by KBBS and Aflatoun that provides a physical and digital learning ecosystem.

More information about the initiative and iLearn platform can be found in the interview with Mark Stevenson of KBBS and Roeland Monasch of Aflatoun.
