OCBC Bank on Monday launched a financial literacy app that was created with four primary school students, with the bank looking to expand its reach of financial literacy education to children.

The product was developed over seven months by OCBC staff, and four 10-year-old students from Yu Neng Primary School.

Ooi Sang Kuang, chairman, OCBC Bank, said that this is in line with Singapore's push for greater innovation and to build "deep skills".
