BoN Launches Financial inclusion Week
18 August 2025 | Media Release
 

The Bank of Namibia today launched a national Financial Inclusion Awareness Campaign, a flagship initiative aimed at promoting awareness on equitable access to financial services and deepening the quality and usage of those services across the country. This campaign forms part of the Bank’s broader commitment to ensuring that every Namibian, regardless of geographic location, income level, or educational background, is empowered to participate meaningfully in the formal financial system.

The campaign aims to engage communities through outreach, education and media in multiple local languages. It will also feature strategic initiatives such as the release of a Digital Financial Literacy Booklet and the launch of a new financial inclusion survey in partnership with the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA). Mr. Uanguta confirmed that these tools will provide updated insights into gaps in financial inclusion and inform evidence-based policy reforms. He also highlighted the Bank’s work on the development of the Instant Payment System, which aims to modernise digital transactions in Namibia and make them faster, safer and more inclusive.
