Co-operative Bank has launched a countrywide financial literacy drive aimed at empowering university students with real-life money skills.
The program is being rolled out through on-campus workshops in top institutions, including Moi University and Kenyatta University.
At the sessions, students are learning how to:
- Budget their money wisely
- Save consistently, even on a tight allowance
- Borrow responsibly without falling into debt traps
- Think like entrepreneurs and create small income streams
The training goes beyond theory. Students interact directly with bank officers, ask questions, and take part in practical exercises.
One student shared:
“I now understand how to manage my HELB money and still save some. This session opened my eyes.”
The campaign is part of Co-op Bank’s commitment to shape financially responsible young adults who are ready to take control of their future.
By starting early, the bank hopes to build a culture where young Kenyans are smarter about money, better prepared for business, and less vulnerable to debt.
This is more than a marketing move. It’s a long-term investment in Kenya’s youth.
Are you a student? Would you know how to track your spending for a month?
Co-op Bank is not just teaching about finance — it’s building a generation of thinkers, savers, and entrepreneurs.
