KUALA LUMPUR – 25 March 2021 – In conjunction with Global Money Week, Visa today announced the launch of Mind Your Ringgit financial literacy themed web game. Developed in line with the official theme of the campaign ‘Take care of yourself, take care of your money’, the 12-month simulation game encompasses elements to highlight the importance of building financial resilience and staying healthy on normal and rainy days in times of crisis, for example during a pandemic. Derived from the acronym MYR, which is the international code for the Malaysian Ringgit, the game has been developed in support of the Financial Education Network, co-chaired by Bank Negara Malaysia and Securities Commission Malaysia. 

Mind Your Ringgit is a choice-based game in which players will be asked questions relevant to real-life scenarios. They are then required to make financial and lifestyle decisions based on the available options that will affect their money, health, and happiness. To begin the game, players are required to select a goal that they would like to achieve in a year. Each month, they will also have to achieve a set milestone to progress in the game. Part of the milestones is ensuring players have enough money to pay for their financial commitments. Throughout the game, players can also utilise the budget manager tool to keep track of their savings, debts, and commitments to help manage their money wisely.
