School Banking
School Banking has evolved over nearly 80 years, from its beginnings when we encouraged kids to save by giving them a moneybox and a transaction book.
Today, the program still provides an attractive savings account for students with incentives that encourage them to manage and grow their savings.
When a primary school participates in the School Banking program, all students have the opportunity to open a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account. There are no monthly account fees with this account and it pays bonus interest to encourage kids to put money away monthly and resist making withdrawals.
We've also introduced a range of activities to encourage saving, including the popular Dollarmites Club and companion Reward Program, which rewards frequent deposits with tokens that can be redeemed for great gifts of different value.
Today, over 90,000 primary school students are developing more responsibility and confidence with money through the School Banking program. Within the next five years we hope to extend the experience to some 437,000 Australian kids.

Benefits to schools
School Banking delivers some excellent benefits to participating schools as well. It provides outstanding support for schools that encourage kids to save by rewarding schools through a commission program. With a commission paid for every new Youthsaver account opened and also for each deposit made, the program can help raise funds for important school initiatives.
