HSBC Malaysia has launched the \u2018<\/span>We Can We Do\u2019 initiative<\/span><\/i> to cultivate the Can-Do spirit amongst Malaysians by encouraging and facilitating financial empowerment. \u2018<\/span>We Can We Do\u2019<\/span><\/i> is a localised version of the bank\u2019s global brand philosophy: \u2018Together we thrive\u2019, customised to spur Malaysians to achieve their financial ambitions. The <\/span>initiative<\/span><\/i> includes curated roundtable sessions and financial masterclasses led by HSBC\u2019s own financial experts, industry leaders and financial-savvy Malaysians from reputable finance publications. These roundtable sessions will cover topics on finance for individuals, entrepreneurs and business owners, which aim to equip participants with financial tools and the know-how to help them better plot their financial future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Financial Behaviour and State of Financial Well-Being of Malaysian Working Adults 2018 (AFBES18), a third of Malaysians are uncomfortable with their financial knowledge. AFBES18 also highlights that 53% of Malaysian respondents face difficulties with raising even RM1,000 for emergencies. To address this gap, HSBC Malaysia is spearheading a mission to instill financial literacy amongst the local communities to enable Malaysians to take charge of their financial life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a leading international financial institution with a history of more than 130 years in the country, HSBC Malaysia has a responsibility to empower and transform the communities we serve through financial literacy. Our goal is to provide people with the tools they need to become financially independent and to make more informed financial decisions\u201d, said <\/span>Stuart Milne, CEO of HSBC Bank Malaysia.<\/b> \u201cThe \u2018<\/span>We Can We Do\u2019 initiative<\/span><\/i> reinforces our commitment in enabling Malaysians to take control of their finances by providing them tips and tricks to improve their financial knowledge. Given our commitment, customers who require support or need guidance, please speak to our Relationship Managers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Recognising the importance of instilling financial literacy from young, HSBC Malaysia has partnered with the non-profit organization, Teach For Malaysia (TFM), to design a Financial Empowerment Programme that uses a game-based approach to help children understand key financial concepts. The programme simulates real-life scenarios to guide children to set financial goals and budgets and identify and manage financial scams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HSBC will also be featuring a series of local \u2018Can-Do\u2019 Heroes that have turned \u201cCan\u201d into \u201cDo\u201d as part of the <\/span>initiative<\/span><\/i> to motivate and inspire Malaysians. These \u2018Can-Do\u2019 Heroes come from all walks of life \u2013 from differently abled entrepreneurs to national badminton players to young volunteers \u2013 and their remarkable stories are a true embodiment of the \u2018We Can We Do\u2019 spirit. HSBC is also powering Malaysia\u2019s \u2018Can-Do\u2019 spirit through badminton which is one of the bank\u2019s brand pillars in driving the agenda of \u2018Together we thrive\u2019 to unite the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commenting on HSBC Malaysia\u2019s \u2018Can-Do\u2019 spirit, Milne added, \u201cThrough thick and thin, our employees have demonstrated that we can and we do take the necessary action to serve our customers. I have witnessed the exemplary effort of our people in stepping up during these trying times and I am confident that our Can-Do spirit is instrumental in helping the local communities get back on their feet like we did to serve our customers to meet their banking needs during the Movement Control Order\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the We Can We Do launch, HSBC has invited four financially-savvy Malaysians to share their perspectives on how to embrace and thrive in <\/span>The New Normal: Life, Business and Beyond<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
