June 16, 2010 - Some 25 children from Balai Ibadah Kg Sengkarai, Tutong participating in the "Anak Ku Bijak Duit" scheme made an educational visit to Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam at its headquarters in Jalan Pemancha.

Some of the aims of the visit were to educate and brief these young children on the overall function of a bank, BIBD's organizational structure, its roles as well as its products and services. Throughout the visit, the participants also learnt about the importance of savings.

The visit started with a welcoming note and an introduction on BIBD by the BIBD Marketing team followed by a briefing from the E-Banking Department on the bank's banking facilities.

Later after that, a briefing on BIBD A+ was presented Rohana binti Mohamad Salleh from the Sales and Distribution Channel under the Consumer Division. The children were briefed on how this facility will be helpful for them in the future and were encouraged to focus on their studies to enjoy the rewards that BIBD A+ offers.

The visit then continued with a tour, where the kids had the opportunity to have a feel of BIBD’s banking environment and at the same time learn about Islamic Banking while given a clear picture on Islamic Treasury and the financial market from a practitioner’s perspective.

The participants were accompanied by their guardians and representatives from the Balai Ibadah Kg Sengkarai.

After the tour, the children together with their guardians took the opportunity to mingle with BIBD staff members and learnt more about the operations of a bank.
