“Children of bank employees learn the value of money and gain a deeper understanding of their parents’ work through hands-on experience lifting 100 million yen in cash, exclaiming ‘It’s so heavy!’ at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank in Nagoya.”

An event was held where children could experience the work of a bank employee during their summer vacation.

Approximately 30 children of bank employees participated in the event held at the Mitsubishi UFJ Bank Nagoya Station Branch. The event, which has been held since the year before last, aims to deepen children’s understanding of their parents’ work and teach them the importance of money.

The children experienced tasks unique to bank employees, such as exchanging business cards and handling bundles of 100 million yen in cash.
