With the University year now in full swing, BNF Bank has announced its sponsorship of ASCS – the Association of Students of Commercial Studies, as a way of collaborating directly with students in their formative years of study.
“Through our involvement with organisations like ASCS, we aim to encourage active student participation – an experience that enhances student life by giving them the opportunity to share ideas and perspectives, and grow as engaged citizens,” said Maria Vella, Manager of BNF Bank’s Campus Hub Branch. “Student life is made so much more meaningful through such organisations and we hope our contribution will help executive members and the committees mobilise more student activity, so that together we can build a new future.” The ACSC is a non-profit making association, representing approximately 2,000 students falling under the Faculty of Economics, Management and Accountancy (FEMA).
“We are grateful for BNF Bank’s support, which gives us more steam to work towards our goals, be they academic support, industry opportunities and internationalisation,” said Julia Camilleri, ASCS President. “The Bank will also partner with us on our ‘Jumpstart Your Career’, an initiative designed to help our members secure employment, as well as our annual Elevate workshops, ensuring a stronger, more dynamic connection between education and industry.”
The Bank believes firmly in supporting individuals in all stages of their lifecycle, giving special focus to students in the 18 – 24 age groups, as they learn to navigate their way through higher learning, planning for their preferred profession, and independence.
As a customer-centric bank, BNF offers attractive services and products to students, giving them the financial tools to plan their future and achieve their life goals. With the Bank’s opening of its brand-new Campus Hub Branch earlier this year and the introduction of online account opening with fast and easy digital onboarding, the Bank promises students digital first secure services that cater for their needs as well as strong personal relationships via face to face interaction.
