Exciting Launch of OKANE-KOllege

In response to the growing demand for financial knowledge, 400F Inc. is thrilled to announce the launch of its new service, OKANE-KOllege, starting April 18, 2025. This innovative training service aims to equip beginners with the essential skills and knowledge needed for effective household budgeting, asset management, and future life planning.

With our recent survey revealing that about 80% of respondents express concerns about future financial stability, the service responds to a pressing need. As high living costs persist, it’s crucial for many to develop their financial knowledge and skills to improve their income and expenditure management. In 2018, 400F launched the OKANE-Ko budgeting and consulting service, and since then, we have assisted over 1.1 million individuals with their financial concerns.

Why OKANE-KOllege?

Despite the numerous inquiries we receive, only about 20% of individuals who seek advice on household budgeting ultimately act on it. Recognizing this gap, OKANE-KOllege has been designed as a support service that guides participants from understanding to execution and habit formation.

Participants will enjoy a tailored learning experience through ten one-on-one lessons, which allows them to gain personalized financial knowledge that suits their circumstances. By the end of the program, participants will likely have a tangible sense of accomplishment regarding their financial improvement.
