«National Fund for Children»: KazNU Students Learn About Financial Opportunities

On September 22, 2026, representatives of Otbasy Bank JSC met with students of the Higher School of Economics and Business and the Faculty of Law at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. During the meeting, students received information about the implementation mechanisms of the «National Fund for Children» project.

The main objective of the meeting was to improve students' financial literacy, expand their knowledge of government programmes, and explain the financial opportunities available to them for purchasing housing and pursuing higher education in the future.

As part of the event, bank specialists outlined the project's key objectives and features, providing detailed information on how targeted savings are accumulated, how funds are recorded, and the conditions governing their use. Students were also informed about the procedures for using accumulated funds to improve their housing conditions or pay for educational services.

During the meeting, participants received practical guidance on opening a deposit account and completing the necessary procedures. Bank representatives explained the steps involved in opening a deposit, the required documents and information, as well as the specific requirements for the intended use of accumulated funds. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and receive individual consultations from the specialists.

The meeting also highlighted the importance of financial planning, responsible money management, and developing savings habits from an early age. Such information sessions help young people gain a better understanding of government programmes and become more aware of the opportunities available to them in addressing their future educational and housing needs.

Al-Farabi Kazakh National University places particular emphasis on supporting projects and initiatives aimed at improving students' financial and social literacy. Partnership meetings of this kind contribute to strengthening students' financial knowledge and developing their ability to make informed personal financial decisions.
