In realizing this goal, Indonesian Bank educates the students in IKN on digital transactions.

In making them aware about Rupiah, Indonesian Bank held a socialization program of QRIS (Quick Responses Indonesia Standard) Digital Transaction Literacy. One of the socialization activities is towards the students of State Senior High School Sepaku 3.
