Taipei Fubon Bank has teamed up with One-Forty, a nonprofit dedicated to migrant education and culture, to co-host a bilingual financial literacy workshop using a board game called Abundant Life, now available in both Mandarin and Indonesian.
As Taiwan’s aging population accelerates, migrant caregivers—who play an increasingly vital role in daily elderly care—are now becoming a frontline force in the fight against financial fraud.
The game-based workshop, which aims to boost financial knowledge and fraud awareness among migrant workers and elderly citizens, highlights a new model of collaborative fraud prevention. According to a 2024 survey conducted by Taipei Fubon Bank and One-Forty, one in ten foreign caregivers in Taiwan has witnessed the elderly they care for fall victim to fraud.
One-Forty founder Kevin Chen (陳凱翔) emphasized that caregivers, who spend significant time with the elderly, are uniquely positioned to detect and respond to fraudulent threats early—but their warnings are often overlooked. “Empowering caregivers to recognize scams and fostering mutual trust with the families they serve is key,” he said.
The “Abundant Life” board game includes not only financial concepts such as investment products and risk assessment but also dementia screening tools, making it a multifunctional resource for education and elderly care. The latest bilingual version is enriched with real-world scam scenarios such as fake investments and lottery scams, and integrates elements of Indonesian culture—from batik patterns to iconic dishes and landmarks—to help bridge cultural gaps and strengthen bonds between migrant workers and seniors.
Over 30 participants joined the inaugural workshop. The interactive format encouraged storytelling, experience sharing, and trust-building between migrants and seniors.
Taipei Fubon Bank’s Senior Associate General Manager of Branding and Sustainability Department, Emily Yang (楊雅媛), said the initiative reflects the bank’s commitment to inclusive finance. “By creating a shared learning experience, we hope to build a financial safety net that empowers both migrant caregivers and elders to protect one another from fraud,” she said.
Moving forward, the bank will offer free access to the bilingual board game at One-Forty’s service centers, allowing migrant workers and their employers to borrow and enjoy it at home, further extending fraud awareness into the community.
