CloseCommBank has a long standing commitment in supporting the financial capability of Australian children and teenagers. Our educational initiatives aim to teach kids the value of money and prepare them for the workforce of the future. See the full list of initiatives.
Our financial education programs and tools make an impact in three areas:
No one has more influence on a child’s financial skills than the parents. We’ve created programs and resources to give Mums, Dads and carers more confidence bringing money to life at home.
To help kids develop good saving habits we offer School Banking, a fun and interactive way to learn about saving, along with the innovative CommBank Youth app.
Teachers play an essential role in preparing our children for the world of tomorrow, which goes beyond financial education. That’s why we also have initiatives that recognise and support their success.
Start Smart is our free, award-winning program for primary, secondary and vocational students, developed in consultation with leading education experts.
