KUALA LUMPUR 6 August – According to Financial Behaviour and State of Financial Well-Being of Malaysian Working Adults 2018 (AFBES18), a third of Malaysians are uncomfortable with their financial knowledge.

Hence, with the aim of cultivating the 'Can-Do' spirit amongst Malaysians, HSBC Bank Malaysia (HSBC Malaysia) has launched the ‘We Can We Do’ initiative by encouraging and facilitating financial empowerment.

‘We Can We Do’ is a localised version of the bank’s global brand philosophy: ‘Together we thrive’, customised to spur Malaysians to achieve their financial ambitions.

CEO of HSBC Malaysia, Stuart Milne said, ‘We Can We Do’ initiative is enabling Malaysians to take control of their finances by providing them tips and tricks to improve their financial knowledge.

“Our goal is to provide people with the tools they need to become financially independent and to make more informed financial decisions.

“Given our commitment, customers who require support or need guidance, please speak to our Relationship Managers,” said him in a statement.

In conjunction with the initiative, HSBC Malaysia has partnered with the non-profit organization, Teach For Malaysia (TFM), to design a Financial Empowerment Programme that uses a game-based approach to help children understand key financial concepts.

The bank will also be featuring a series of local ‘Can-Do’ Heroes that have turned ‘Can’ into ‘Do’ as part of the initiative to motivate and inspire Malaysians.

These ‘Can-Do’ Heroes come from all walks of life including differently-abled entrepreneurs to national badminton players to young volunteers and their remarkable stories are a true embodiment of the ‘We Can We Do’ spirit.

“Through thick and thin, our employees have demonstrated that we can and we do take the necessary action to serve our customers.

“I have witnessed the exemplary effort of our people in stepping up during these trying times and I am confident that our 'Can-Do' spirit is instrumental in helping the local communities get back on their feet like we did to serve our customers to meet their banking needs during the Movement Control Order (MCO),” Milne added. – DagangNews.com
