NDB Bank Empowers Tech Professionals with a Financial Mastery Workshop

NDB Bank recently took a significant step towards empowering tech professionals with essential financial skills by organising an engaging financial knowledge training session. Initiated by NDB Bank’s Nugegoda branch and held on the 12th of July at the eMarketingEye (Pvt) Limited premises, this event aimed to equip IT and digital marketing professionals with the tools necessary to make informed financial decisions and achieve greater financial stability.

The training session, attended by employees of eMarketingEye, covered a range of vital topics tailored to the unique financial needs of tech professionals. The participants delved into strategies for financial discipline and effective salary management, learning how to create and adhere to budgets that ensure long-term financial health. Emphasising the importance of saving, the session highlighted how disciplined saving habits can support personal investments, generate passive income, and lead to financial independence.

A key focus of the training was on the prudent use of credit cards and digital transactions. Participants were guided on how to maximise the benefits of credit facilities while avoiding common pitfalls, thus making their day-to-day financial activities more efficient. The session also provided an insightful overview of the current financial landscape in Sri Lanka, identifying opportunities for growth and financial success despite the economic challenges.

One of the highlights was a discussion on the benefits of personal housing loans, where professionals learned how to leverage these financial products to achieve homeownership. Additionally, the session underscored the importance of maintaining accurate and positive CRIB reports, educating participants on how good credit management can open doors to favourable financial opportunities.

By addressing the specific financial needs of tech professionals, the bank not only encouraged active engagement among participants but also reinforced its dedication to supporting the financial well-being of Sri Lanka’s workforce.

This initiative by NDB Bank aimed to enhance financial literacy among tech professionals, thus creating a financially savvy and empowered community and paving the way for a brighter financial future.
