Between vault and IT lab - Zukunftstag at Bank Frick

“Come in!” With these words, Bank Frick apprentices Nico and Luca, together with the HR manager Andrea, welcomed 15 children to todays National Zukunftstag. In the main building in Balzers, the children discovered the fascinating world of crypto and blockchain - a subject area in which Bank Frick is one of the pioneers throughout Europe. In addition to a crash course on these topics, the young guests were given insights into other business areas such as classic banking, fund and capital markets and e-commerce. For most of them, it was their first contact with these areas, and their curiosity was correspondingly high. The experts patiently answered every question in a child-friendly manner. The pupils were also particularly interested in the training opportunities at Bank Frick, which were explained to them by Nico and Luca.

Then the tour began, during which the children were given some exclusive insights. In the vault, they marveled at the valuable precious metals and the strict security precautions. After lunch, another special part of the program awaited: in the IT department, the students were allowed to tinker with equipment themselves and learned how technology supports the banking system in the background. “I didn't even know that you could repair things at a bank!” said one student in amazement.

At the end of the day, the children accompanied their parents to their workplace and then came together again to share their experiences. An inspiring day came to an end with small farewell gifts and great impressions.
