Through programs such as 'Hari Indonesia Menabung' (HIM) and 'Puncak Bulan Literasi Keuangan' (BLK), students are being encouraged to develop saving habits. As part of the HIM 2026 activities, ceremonial openings of 'Tabungan Simpanan Pelajar' (SimPel) accounts were held for participants in collaboration with the financial services industry.

Furthermore, the program aims to increase awareness regarding digital financial risks, including fraud and the unwise use of financial services.
