ADIB takes financial education to Universities

Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), a top-tier Islamic financial services institution, hosted a road show on financial responsibility at American university of Dubai and Amity University. The event was part of ADIB’s ongoing financial literacy and education programme aiming to raise awareness among young people in the UAE on how to use money wisely and make well informed financial decisions. 

More than 150 students participated in the seminar on financial education to learn on how to budget, save their money and avoid the debt cycle. The presentation also included an interactive session with students to build awareness on managing their finances. 

Hassan Al Nuwais, Marketing Manager from ADIB, who lead the session, said “We want students and young people generally to have a clear understanding about financing and budgeting. Through this programme, we tend to share experiences and ideas on how to save and budget.” 

“It was a very interesting presentation” said one of the students. “We all learnt a lot and I definitely need to make some changes in my financial life. The presentation explained to us how to save and manage our money.” 

As part of its ongoing financial education programme, ADIB launched “SmartMoney”. SmartMoney is a quick and easy way to guide customers in getting valuable advice on how to save, budget, finance and grow your money. Smartmoney also provide tips on investment, takaful insurance and finance. 

ADIB recently held a similar educational event at the Canadian University in Dubai, and presented to around 50 students there.
