Faculty of Economics and Business  UNISMA, Together with the Malang Regency Government and PT Indopremiere Sekuritas, was appointed by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) of Malang to run the Savings Village program. In the socialization held by OJK, Bank Indonesia Representatives of Malang, TPAKD, DPR Commission 11, and Malang Regency on September 29, 2022, at the Pendopo Malang Regency. At the event, the signing of the Share Investment Village Joint Commitment between FEB UNISMA, which was attended by the Dean of FEB UNISMA, Nur Diana SE, MSi, PT Indopremeire Sekuritas, was attended by Ami Nabila (Branch Manager) and Eko Margianto AP (Head of the Malang Regency Village and Community Empowerment Service). The three institutions are committed to capital market education activities for rural communities in the Malang Regency area in 378 (three hundred and seventy-eight) villages, and educational activities have been carried out since 2023. Each village will be contested every year.
In response to this, the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business,  University of Islam Malang, Nur Diana SE, MSi, expressed his appreciation for FEB UNISMA as an institution that is shown to increase educational activities and financial inclusion in Malang Regency in collaboration with PT Indopremeiere and Malang Regency Government. According to him, the activity had been initiated and implemented 2 (two) years earlier by the IDX Investment Gallery FEB UNISMA in collaboration with OJK Malang, TPKAD, PT Indonesia Stock Exchange, East Java Representative Office, and PT Indopremiere. "The Savings Village Program has been run for 2 (two) years by FEB UNISMA and OJK Malang, PT BEI East Java Representative Office, and PT Indopremiere Sekkuritas. Initially, in 2021, this program was implemented in 6 villages in Malang Raya, then in 2022, it was developed in 27 villages," he said. The purpose of this program is FEB UNISMA's effort to implement the Community Service Program in the Capital Market sector so that we involve students and lecturers to increase the knowledge of villagers about correct investment, considering that the level of financial literacy of villagers is deficient and often trapped in fraudulent investments. At the Share Investment Village Socialization event attended by Member of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in charge of Consumer Education and Protection, Frederica Widyasari Dewi said that in the Stock Investment Village, her party would place more emphasis on literacy than inclusion. The reason is to make people avoid illegal investments, especially at the village level. "This stock investment design is a form of literacy and inclusion program from the OJK. However, of course, in it, we do not directly direct the public to inclusion, but literacy first. So we can understand what the capital market is and will be taught about the dangers of illegal investment," she said.
