Financial Inclusion & Financial Literacy
In order to implement the Bangladesh Government's Vision 2041 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (2021-2026) has been developed. The strategy aims to achieve social cohesion and stability by ensuring access to quality financial services for all, aligning with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
One of the core objectives of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy is to achieve 100 percent financial inclusion for all adults by June 30, 2026. To accomplish this, it is crucial to spread financial literacy among the poor and underprivileged segments of society. By providing accurate knowledge about banking and financial products/services, individuals can gain a better understanding of modern banking systems and become interested in accessing institutional financial services. This plays a pivotal role in achieving overall financial inclusion in Bangladesh.
To support this initiative, the Financial Inclusion Department of Bangladesh Bank has launched the financial literacy program called "Striving for a Financially Literate Society." The program aligns with the goals outlined in Bangladesh Bank's 3rd Five-Year Strategic Plan (2020-2024) for expanding financial inclusion throughout the country. To ensure the effectiveness of the program, Bangladesh Bank has published Financial Literacy Guidelines for Banks and Financial Institutions.
Southeast Bank is fully committed to promoting financial literacy in accordance with the guidelines provided by Bangladesh Bank. The bank has already taken several initiatives, including observing financial literacy day, organizing school banking conferences, and conducting general financial literacy programs at the division and district levels as outlined in the Financial Literacy Guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
During this significant day, all branches and uposhakhas of SEBPLC. actively engage in commemorating the occasion, organizing discussions with customers on various topics related to financial literacy. These discussions are conducted in strict adherence to the guidelines provided by Bangladesh Bank, with the primary objective of effectively promoting financial awareness among unbanked individuals and encouraging their participation in regulated financial channels.
Through these initiatives, Southeast Bank PLC aims to contribute towards enhancing financial literacy levels within the community and facilitating greater financial inclusion across Bangladesh.We are pleased to share some snapshots of the programs conducted thus far.

Financial illiteracy has been recognized as one of the major hurdles to building a financially inclusive economy. Financial literacy refers to the knowledge, skills and understanding that enables individuals to navigate various financial scenarios with confidence and competence, ensuring their financial well-being. Enhancing financial literacy is a prerequisite for onboarding unbanked individuals into regulated financial channels. It is crucial in supporting financial inclusion, particularly in the context of the advancement of Digital Financial Services (DFS).
