Slice Small Finance Bank held a Financial Literacy Camp (FLC) in Assam's Dokmoka on September 5, part of a wider push to build financial awareness and improve access to digital banking and financial services for communities across Northeast India.
Who Attended The Camp
The event drew a mix of the bank's existing customers, people who are not yet its customers, members of the local community and government officials. It was designed as a shared platform where attendees could learn about responsible financial management, formal banking services, digital banking options and government-backed social security schemes.
Savings, Budgeting And Investment Took Centre Stage
Much of the session was devoted to building a stronger understanding of saving, budgeting, borrowing responsibly, digital payments, insurance, pension planning and investment options, so that participants could apply these ideas to their everyday financial decisions.
Fraud Prevention Tips Were Also Shared
Attendees were also made aware of common financial and cyber frauds, along with best practices for keeping their banking credentials and personal information safe, so they are better placed to avoid falling victim to scams.
Loan And Digital Banking Products Explained
The bank used the camp to explain its loan offerings, digital banking products and other financial services meant to help individuals and small businesses meet their financial needs through formal, regulated channels rather than informal ones.
A Rural And Semi-Urban Focus
The initiative was aimed specifically at strengthening financial awareness among rural and semi-urban communities, which is why the discussions were kept simple, practical and closely tied to participants' everyday financial concerns. The camp also stressed the importance of choosing regulated financial institutions over informal sources of credit, and of adopting safe, responsible financial habits.
Part Of A Wider Push For Financial Inclusion In The Northeast
The Financial Literacy Camp forms part of Slice Small Finance Bank's broader commitment to advancing financial inclusion across Northeast India, by pairing access to formal banking with greater financial awareness at the community level.
