HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 13 July 2022 - Hang Seng Bank's virtual "GO!GingerOnion 5** College" opened its doors in The Sandbox metaverse on 14 July 2022.

GO! GingerOnion:

Hang Seng Bank introduced the Go!GingerOnion initiative in 2019 to reach out to young people via social media. The initiative uses a dedicate Instagram account (@gogingeronion) and YouTube channel to share engaging content on topics that are trending among teenagers, with the aims of building close connections with young people while encouraging and empowering them to explore new opportunities and ideas.

With the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupting in-person classes and the holding of mock exams since 2020, Go!GingerOnion introduced InstaMockExam – the first initiative of its kind on Instagram – to help DSE candidates to prepare for their exams.
