The benefits package also comprises free mobile phone insurance, financial literacy programmes as well as access to networking events, career fairs, internship opportunities and free Wi-Fi spots at some university campuses.<\/p>\n<p>He further said the \u201cGO na NMB\u201d will offer the youth with access to customized banking and financial solutions that serve their needs. \u201cEvery child and youth has a right to safe, accessible financial services, and we need to empower them to grow into productive economic citizens,\u201d Mr Mponzi noted, adding: This is one of many of NMB\u2019s initiatives in response to the Government\u2019s goal of driving financial inclusion.\u201d With 64 per cent of Tanzanians being below 35 years, NMB Bank will through the platform reach out to and support the youth across the board. Speaking earlier, NMB Dar es Salam Zonal Manager Donatus Richard said the platform was an opportunity for the youth to leverage the bank\u2019s empowering services for personal benefits and the development of the country. He added that the initiative was a strategic move to help broaden the customer base of the bank through productive partnerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
