Monex Securities Partners with Docomo for Financial Education

In an innovative move to promote financial literacy, Monex Securities has announced its collaboration with NTT Docomo for a financial education initiative as part of the “Cashless School Festival” starting May 19, 2025. This program is designed to engage students and enhance their understanding of finance through hands-on experience during school festivals.

Overview of the Cashless Festival Package

The package provided by Docomo aims to facilitate quick and efficient payment methods through their mobile service “d払い®” (d Payments), thereby reducing the hassles and risks often associated with cash management at events. This initiative will not only streamline transactions but also ensure safer and more secure festival operations.

Special Regional Package

In addition to the basic offerings, a special regional package will be available in the Kanto and Shinetsu regions, which includes enhanced financial education along with career education support. This regional package will feature workshops aimed at improving students’ financial literacy and providing career development opportunities such as marketing research and data analysis experiences through the cashless school festival. This multifaceted approach aims to equip students with valuable skills that extend beyond classroom lessons.

The regional package will kick off with schools in the Kanto and Shinetsu regions, spanning Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Niigata, and Nagano prefectures, and will gradually expand to more areas in the future.

Monex Securities will deliver the financial education program in conjunction with Docomo, focusing on essential topics tailored to the changing life stages and financial plans of students. Topics will include:

• - Long-term money planning
• - Risk management
• - Importance of asset management
• - Overview of financial products

Seminar Details (Tentative)
