Thursday, 12th October 2023, in order to support the month of financial inclusion with the theme "Equal Financial Access, Prosperous Communities", PT Bank Resona Perdania ("Bank") held financial literacy activities with the title "Strengthening Financial Resilience, Through Increasing Financial Literacy", which attended by members of (KTH) Karya Mandiri Bersama and KTH DKI Jakarta as well as members of Forestry Extension, Parks and City Forest Service of DKI Jakarta Province at FLONA 2023 exhibition. On this occasion, all participants were given an explanation and understanding of financial literacy, an introduction to the Financial Services Authority and banking knowledge, maintaining financial resilience, wise ways to manage money and the importance of saving and investing. Apart from that, the participants also received an explanation regarding vigilance in illegal investments and loans, which has been widely discussed recently.

Apart from the financial literacy program, PT Bank Resona Perdania (“Bank”) also carries out CSR activities under the “Sustainable BRP” pillar, through a 5 (five) year community economic development program for the Karya Mandiri Bersama Forest Farmers Group (KTH), with the activity “Bee Cultivation Trigona Honey”. Currently this activity has entered its 3rd year, where the Bank provides support to KTH Karya Mandiri Bersama to participate in the 2023 Flona Exhibition at the DKI Jakarta Provincial Level, in collaboration with Forestry Extension Officers, the DKI Provincial Parks and City Forest Service, as a form of implementing Sustainable Development activities Goals no. 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth and no. 15, Life on Land.

The final objective of the CSR program pillar "Sustainable BRP" is to make KTH Karya Mandiri Bersama as a Wanawiyata Widyakarya, namely a business model in the forestry and/or environmental sector that is owned and managed by community groups or individuals designated by the Minister of Environment and Forestry as a model, a place for training and internships for other communities.

In this financial literacy activity, PT Resona Indonesia Finance as a subsidiary of the Bank also participated in providing financial literacy with the theme "Smart Utilization of Financing Services in the Digital Financial Era".

It is hoped that the implementation of financial literacy can increase participants' interest, awareness, understanding and knowledge of banking and financing institutions as a whole as well as the importance of understanding financial resilience.

This financial literacy activity has run well, this can be seen from the enthusiasm and active participation of all participants in taking part in this activity.
