The Junius Financial Tournament, a programme popular with children, has come to an end. Held in an interactive and fast-moving format, it helped participants learn how to manage and save money wisely, identify modern financial scams and protect themselves against them, and use digital financial tools more effectively.
Tatevik Vardevanyan, Head of the Communication and Sustainable Development Department at Idram and IDBank, said the tournament had a clear positive impact on the children taking part. According to her, the number of participants increased with each new round, with new children joining almost every game.
Vardevanyan said the tournament also had its “veterans” — children who took part in every game and consistently aimed to rank among the leaders. Under the rules, once a participant wins, they cannot be named a winner again for the following three months and are eligible only for an encouragement prize. Even so, she noted that children who received encouragement prizes this time were genuinely happy with them.
The organisers say the children’s growing interest, strong enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge once again show that the Junius Financial Tournament, available in the Idram Junior app, is a strategic initiative. In their view, it contributes to shaping a financially literate generation and lays the groundwork for future success.
The Idram Junior app is designed for users aged 8–16. It allows children to use cashless payment methods, make contactless payments, save money and build financial literacy, while giving parents a modern and secure way to monitor their children’s financial activity.
The publication also notes that the company is supervised by the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia.
