Bank Hapoalim to open free financial education complex for children at Tel Aviv Port
The temporary “Junior City” complex will let children ages 5-13 earn simulated salaries, shop with a budget, and learn about financial decision-making through games and activities.
Bank Hapoalim is set to open a temporary financial education complex for children at Tel Aviv Port, offering free activities designed to teach children about earning, spending, budgeting, and consumer choices. The “Poalim Junior City” complex will operate from August 18 through August 27 at the Yordei HaSira compound and is open to customers of all Israeli banks.
Participation is free but requires advance registration, which opens on Monday, August 10. The project aims to turn basic financial concepts into a simulated miniature economy, with activities including sorting merchandise, baking challah, packing eggs, pricing products, and processing online shopping orders. Children will then move to a shopping area to spend their earnings while completing interactive exercises to encourage smarter purchasing decisions and budgeting.
The experience concludes with a participatory show about financial behavior for children and their families.
