Our Achievements
1. A Multi-Stakeholder CSR Collaboration Model for Financial Education
In 2023, TABF pioneered a CSR Collaboration Model together with local governments and financial sector partners to deliver sustainable, locally grounded financial education across Taiwan.
Originally launched as a single-city pilot, the model has been expanded into a cross-city partnership network, supporting lifelong financial literacy among diverse audiences including elementary students, older adults, and university students.
TABF Chairman Paul C. D. Lei underscored the outcomes of the CSR Collaboration Model for elementary-school financial education in Tainan City.
“CoCo Teachers” guided elementary school students through scenario-based games to teach them about risk awareness.
2. Three Consecutive Years of National Recognition
TABF has been presented the Financial Education Contribution Awards by the Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) – the national authority overseeing the financial sector – for three consecutive years. TABF is the only non-profit financial education institution to receive this national recognition three years in a row, demonstrating our sustained leadership and impact in financial literacy advancement for diverse underserved communities in Taiwan.

3. Promoted Taiwan’s Financial Inclusion at UN CSW68
The 68th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68), held in New York City, focused on the theme of "Women's Financial Issues and Economic Equality," sparking lively discussions. Seizing the opportunity of the gathering of delegates from various countries, TABF collaborated with domestic and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to organize two parallel meetings officially recognized by the United Nations. This allowed Taiwan to showcase its achievements in promoting financial inclusion on the global diplomatic stage.

4. Financial Explorer 62 - Taiwan's First Financial Museum
Under the direction of the FSC, TABF created Taiwan’s first museum of finance. Completed in late 2022, the name Financial Explorer 62 reflects the fusion of the financial sector's spirit of exploration and TABF's training base. FE62's historical collection and a variety of media display the trajectory and achievements of Taiwanese finance. Moreover, interactive programs simulating financial planning help to broaden audiences' financial horizons and build proper attitudes towards finance.
FE62 is designed for the exploration of financial knowledge, with the loop corridor making up the mobile game path.

5. Elevating Financial Communication: Redesign and Global Visibility
TABF is committed to advancing financial inclusion through impactful communication and knowledge sharing. TABF promotes financial literacy and supports informed public dialogue through The Taiwan Banker magazine and its professional publications. Moreover, it has expanded its outreach through podcasts and short-form videos, making financial knowledge more accessible and practical while fostering a culture of lifelong learning. Over the past few years, The Taiwan Banker has undergone a major redesign, and partnered with Factiva, Dow Jones’ business news database, strengthening its global visibility.
