Help & support
Sadly, the CommBank School Banking program will not be returning to schools in 2022.
For 90 years, our School Banking program has helped children learn about money, reinforced the importance of regular savings and provided structure for parents to support their children to save.
We've had strong support from thousands of schools, parents and teachers across the country who choose to run our program. We’re disappointed with the position taken by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and subsequent decisions by some state and territory governments to take that choice away from individual schools and parents. Because of the ASIC review and these government decisions, we’re unable to continue providing programs in schools, and we’ve had to make a difficult decision to close our School Banking program nationally for all schools, both government and non-government, across the country.

Since our School Banking program was established in 1931, we’ve helped more than 15 million Australians take their first financial steps. This wouldn’t have been possible without the wonderful support we’ve had from the schools and volunteers we’ve partnered with over the journey, and for this we’re deeply grateful.
While our in-school program has closed, we're committed to supporting financial wellbeing and will continue to provide financial education to young Australians. Visit our CommBank Youth Hub for a range of free resources, including lesson plans, videos and worksheets, for both parents and teachers.
We're also working with a range of experts to evolve our approach to financial education and are excited to launch new digital tools in 2022 to further support young people’s financial wellbeing.
You can continue to make deposits into your child’s Youthsaver account through online transfer or at any CommBank branch.
