LAHORE: Faysal Bank Limited (FBL), one of Pakistan’s leading Islamic banks, actively supported the State Bank of Pakistan’s Financial Literacy Week 2025, held from April 14 to 18 under the theme ‘Financial Literacy through Collaboration and Innovation’.

Reaffirming its commitment to empowering underserved communities through financial education and promoting financial inclusion across the country, the bank launched a comprehensive initiative aligned with the SBP’s vision. The week-long programme featured a range of dynamic activities aimed at engaging and educating the public.

Financial literacy sessions were conducted across key districts, complemented by interactive camps that offered account opening facilities, digital banking demonstrations, and the distribution of educational materials at local markets and community centres. As part of the initiative, interactive quizzes were organised at various schools across the country to enhance students’ financial knowledge and encourage the younger generation to participate in the financial system.

Workshops and awareness sessions on personal finance, digital onboarding and budgeting were also held, targeting students, youth, women, and persons with special needs. The SBP’s Banking Services Corporation, in collaboration with all banks, also organised a Financial Literacy Walk across 15 major cities, in which Faysal Bank also participated actively.
