Toss Launches Teens Financial Education Ambassador Program

• Ambassadors, composed of elementary and middle school teachers to enhance students’ financial literacy
• Toss’ teen-focused services, “Money Study Café” and “Mock Stock Investment,” to be used as teaching tools

Viva Republica, the operator of the financial super app "Toss," announced the launch of the Teens Financial Education Ambassador program to support basic economic education and improve financial literacy among elementary and middle school students.

The Ambassadors are consist of current elementary and middle school teachers and will use Toss Teens as part of their financial education programs. Toss Teens is a financial service designed for users aged 7 to 18, offering a variety of tools to help children and teenagers manage their own financial lives.

In particular, the Ambassadors will integrate Toss’ key Teen services, “Money Study Café” and “Mock Stock Investment,” as classroom learning tools.

Money Study Café is an educational content platform where students learn about finance and economics as if they were talking to a friend. For example, in lessons about income, students explore the question "How do people earn income?" by examining a fictional family’s household ledger, which introduces concepts like income, expenses, and different income sources such as pensions and salaries explained in a simple and friendly way.

The Mock Stock Investment service allows teens to experience stock trading using $1,000 in virtual currency and real-time market data. It features teen-friendly explanations about specific stock items and in-depth analysis to make investing more realistic for children.

Going forward, Toss plans to develop its teen financial services and content by incorporating direct feedback from Ambassadors based on real classroom experiences.

“The use of financial and digital platforms are increasingly emphasized in public education,” a Toss representative said. “We will continue exploring ways to bridge gaps as financial disparities among students grow due to differences in income or region.”
