Mumbai : KidZania India, the global leader in edutainment, has partnered with Bandhan Bank to offer children an immersive introduction to the world of banking through role-play. Designed to make financial learning engaging and age-appropriate, the experience allows young visitors to step into the roles of a customer or bank teller and explore the basics of banking in a fun, hands-on environment.
Through this activity, children can experience simple banking actions such as opening an account, encashing cheques, and withdrawing money from an ATM, while also learning the importance of saving, responsible spending, financial decision-making, and customer service. The experience is designed to build financial awareness and confidence while helping children understand how banks function in everyday life.
Mr. Partha Pratim Sengupta, MD and CEO, Bandhan Bank, said, “At Bandhan Bank, we believe that financial awareness and smart money habits are important life skills, and by collaborating with KidZania, we will be able to give the young minds an opportunity to be introduced to the Banking World. The experience will give the children an exposure to these concepts through hands-on, immersive activities. We are delighted to be part of an initiative that encourages children to develop confidence, decision-making abilities, and an understanding of financial literacy through role-play.”
Speaking on the launch, Tarandeep Singh Sekhon, Chief Business Officer, KidZania India, said, “At KidZania, we believe children learn best when they experience the real world through doing. Banking is one such life skill that goes far beyond transactions—it helps children understand the value of earning, saving, making choices, and taking responsibility from an early age.
The Bandhan Bank establishment is a natural addition to the KidZania city, where children already participate in a working economy through our currency called ‘kidZos’. Through this experience, they can encash cheques, open savings accounts, earn interest, and understand the fundamentals of banking in an engaging and hands-on way.
We are grateful to the Bandhan Bank team for believing in the power of experiential learning and for partnering with us to create an experience that combines learning with real-world relevance. Together, we hope to help children build not just financial awareness, but the confidence to make thoughtful choices in the future.”
By participating in the banking role-play, children can develop financial awareness, problem-solving ability, critical thinking, and confidence in a playful setting. The partnership reflects KidZania India’s continued commitment to equipping children with real-world knowledge and essential life skills through immersive learning experiences, while also reinforcing Bandhan Bank’s focus on financial inclusion and awareness.
