The NBM and the Moldovan Banks Association are joining forces to strengthen financial education, inclusiveness, and support for the digitization of payments
In particular, they signed a cooperation protocol establishing a framework for interaction to promote financial education, strengthen financial inclusiveness, and support the digitization of payments in Moldova. The document was signed by the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM), Anca Dragu, and the President of the Moldovan Banks Association (ABM), Dorel Noroc. According to the NBM, the protocol provides for the development of joint projects and initiatives in the field of informing, educating, and raising awareness among the population, the business community, and other users of financial services. “By cooperating with the ABM, we are joining forces to bring information to people and together build a society where modern financial services are accessible, understandable, and safe to use. These efforts are based on financial education and financial inclusion. We support every citizen, regardless of age, occupation, or place of residence—in the city or in the countryside—by providing them with the information and tools they need to make responsible financial decisions that contribute to the financial stability and well-being of everyone,” said NBM Governor Anca Dragu. In turn, Dorel Noroc, President of the ABM, added that the signing of the cooperation protocol with the National Bank of Moldova marks an important and unique step in strengthening financial education and promoting financial inclusion in Moldova. “Through joint efforts, we will develop and promote educational materials that will bring people closer to modern, safe, and accessible financial services, thereby contributing to increased trust and more active participation of citizens in economic life,” he said. As part of this cooperation, the NBM and the ABM aim to contribute to improving the financial literacy of the population, promoting the use of modern financial services and digital payments, strengthening financial inclusion, and raising awareness about the protection of financial services consumers. At the same time, the initiative aims to intensify efforts to prevent and combat digital fraud through joint information, training, and awareness-raising activities. The cooperation will also include the organization of training sessions, information campaigns, thematic seminars, and public events, as well as the development and distribution of educational materials on responsible financial management and the safe use of digital financial services. // 05.03.2026 — InfoMarket
