School Banking – A Message from Commonwealth Bank      

As some of you may be aware over the past months, a number of state and territory governments have announced bans on banks delivering programs in their schools, and the NSW Government announced a similar decision today, because of a report from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

As a result, the CommBank School Banking program will not be returning to schools beyond 2021.

Even though this is a sad time, School Banking has taught so many young Australians, past and present, the value of money and we believe this should be celebrated. We have created a place for you to share your stories, fondest memories and lessons learnt through the program. Share your story at commbank.com.au/sbstories

While our in-school program will close, we are committed to supporting financial wellbeing, and will always provide financial education to young Australians. We have launched a new CommBank Youth Hub, which brings together all our youth financial education resources for parents and teachers. This includes a range of free resources including lesson plans, videos and worksheets from our curriculum-aligned financial education program, Start Smart.

Our School Banking team will remain available until the end of the year to answer any questions you may have about running the program. You can contact our School Banking Helpdesk on 1800 674 496 Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm (AEDST).

To find out more about these changes and to access resources, visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking

Closer to the end of the year, I will provide more information about the next steps required to wind down the program at your school. In the meantime, please feel free to continue to run the program as you normally would, in line with the relevant health advice and government directions for your area.

Thank you sincerely for your support of our program. It has been invaluable and has helped many Australian children learn the importance of saving.

Veronica Howarth
Head of School Banking
