Since 2010, over 800 000 schools kids from all over New Zealand have signed up to learn about money through our fun, tailored workshops. Best of all, it's free. ASB GetWise facilitators visit schools with resources for kids and teachers, while parents can also access a range of resources online.
We've been helping Kiwi kids learn about money since 1926, so we know teaching them good money habits today gets them closer to their dreams tomorrow. We have heaps of ways to make it easy and fun for kids to learn about money. Check out some of the ways we can help you and your kids.
Getting kids started
From bank accounts to tips, we've got a range of interactive tools to help you get your kids started on the right foot.
A bank account just for kids
Our Headstart account is fee free and just for kids. By setting up your child their own account you can teach them about saving and spending. But the Headstart account is just the start. Once this is set up, you can order Clever Kash, our award winning cashless moneybox to help your child save for the things they want - especially when you don't have cash in your pocket.
Meet Clever Kash, your savings buddy
Meet Clever Kash, ASB's cashless moneybox. First, transfer money from your ASB account to your child's ASB savings account. Then use the ASB Mobile app to swipe virtual notes and coins towards Clever Kash and watch their savings balance grow on Clever Kash's tummy.
ASB School Banking
Creating good saving habits from a young age keeps kids one step ahead in the future. Our ASB School Banking Programme helps kids learn about saving by making regular cash deposits at schools that are registered to the programme.
