Financial literacy initiatives for students have been implemented across different regions in Indonesia.

In Magelang, Central Java, students from Universitas Mercu Buana Yogyakarta conducted a program at a Quranic Education Center to teach children about saving and money management through creative activities, such as decorating piggy banks. 

In Jayapura, Papua, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) expanded these efforts through formal programs like ‘Hari Indonesia Menabung’ and ‘Puncak Bulan Literasi Keuangan’. These initiatives include the opening of student savings accounts and aim to educate the younger generation on effective money management and the risks associated with digital financial fraud.
