The Commonwealth Bank Foundation seeks to encourage developments in education, in particular the financial literacy skills of young Australians and aims to create awareness, skill and understanding of the benefits of a more financially literate community.
The Foundation builds on the Bank’s community activities and contributions of more than 70 years in education and financial literacy. These include the Bank’s Student Banking program introduced in 1931 to teach young people the basic skills of money management and encouraging them to save.
Financial literacy is an essential life skill. By supporting education programs, the Foundation seeks to empower young Australians to approach their future with confidence and help stand them in good stead for their future.
