Furthermore, in 2023, the number of in-person attendees at various programs offered by financial institutions has increased by 28%, while the number of online access to activities has doubled. 46% of the training offer from ‘Aula Financiera y Digital’ consists of in-person initiatives, while a quarter of the content consists of immediately accessible training tools, via videos or podcasts. Recently, a specific space on the platform has also been added to promote knowledge about cybersecurity and prevention, in light of the widespread increase in cyber scams.
