Fubon Bank's Children's Accounts Reach 327,000, Assets Grow 8% Annually

Taipei, Jul. 3 (CNA) -- Taipei Fubon Bank announced today that as of the end of May, its "Little Tycoon Account" (children's account) had accumulated 327,000 accounts, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%. The total asset size reached NT$149.2 billion, an annual increase of 8.7%. Further observation of asset allocation shows that fund investments account for the largest portion at 67%.

Taipei Fubon Bank continues to enhance financial literacy for all citizens through education. The "Little Tycoon Financial Camp" for 2026 officially commenced today at the Anhe Branch, inviting elementary school students from Zhongzheng Elementary School, a Bunun indigenous school located at the junction of Ren'ai, Puli, and Yuchi townships in Nantou County. Through financial courses, interactive board games, and a "junior teller" experience, the camp aims to guide children in establishing sound financial management concepts.

Guo Jia-ling, Deputy General Manager of Taipei Fubon Bank, stated that financial education should not be limited by region or background. In the past, the "Little Tycoon Financial Camp" has organized special sessions for children in rural areas and those with hearing and speech impairments. This year, it is launching a dedicated session for indigenous children for the first time, extending financial education to more groups in need. The bank hopes to foster basic financial capabilities in children from different backgrounds from an early age, narrow the urban-rural gap, and implement the spirit of inclusive finance.

Taipei Fubon Bank launched the "Little Tycoon Account" in 1998, integrating asset management functions such as savings, foreign currency, and funds.

Taipei Fubon Bank stated that as of the end of May, its "Little Tycoon Account" had accumulated 327,000 accounts, a 5.9% increase compared to the same period last year. Among these, the number of accounts for clients under 18 years old increased by over 11% year-on-year. The total asset size reached NT$149.2 billion, an 8.7% annual increase. Observing asset allocation, fund investments accounted for the largest portion at 67%, with over 70% of these investments made through lump-sum contributions. Overseas bonds were the second-largest category.

Taipei Fubon Bank pointed out that the simultaneous growth in account numbers and asset size indicates that children's financial management has gradually expanded from simple savings to asset allocation. Parents are also actively using diverse financial tools to build a financial foundation for their children's future development. (Editor: Chang Chun-mao) Jul. 3, 115
