\u201cThe buzz around the European Money Quiz continues to grow, with more and more students putting their financial knowledge to the test each year. It\u2019s fantastic to witness the determination of the contestants along with some healthy competition,\u201d<\/strong> says Wim Mijs, Chief Executive Officer of the European Banking Federation. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
