In the Samara region 55 thousand people passed the online credit for financial literacy

The ninth all-Russian distance credit in financial literacy set an absolute record of attendance. More than 2.5 million citizens across the country decided to check their own competencies on the Internet.

It is noteworthy that more than 80 percent of the participants successfully coped with the proposed tasks and confirmed their level of training.

In the Samara region, interest in annual testing increased by 38 percent compared to the previous period. In 2026, more than 55,000 residents of the region joined the large-scale action, with almost 84 percent of them receiving official certificates. In a special family format, 1,418 households participated, 66 percent of which successfully overcame the benchmarks.

In the Olympic track, 23 high school students from the Samara region showed themselves brilliantly, while 1,190 people became winners nationwide. Now young talents have the right to compete in the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren “Higher Trial” of the National Research University “Higher School of Economics” on the profile of financial literacy. The triumph in this prestigious competition guarantees applicants significant benefits when entering higher educational institutions.

Alexey Koloskov, Head of the Volga-Vyatka Branch of the Bank of Russia, stressed that such testing is not just a test of knowledge, but a real point of personal growth.

According to him, every citizen who passed the test takes a confident step towards greater financial stability. Of particular value is the active involvement of schoolchildren and parents, since it is in adolescence that the right money habits are laid.

The results of the mass survey help the regulator to identify the most problematic topics for targeted financial education of the population. In general, middle- and high-school students are better at understanding information security and taxation, while insurance and investment are more difficult.

Adult citizens, in turn, easily bypass fraudulent schemes and skillfully apply the skills of forming personal savings.
