Parents / Caregivers
At ABC Bank we recognise the importance of teaching financial literacy in US schools and want to create good savings behaviours at a young age. ABC Bank’s School Banking programme is available through a number of primary schools across the country and we are aiming to have a number of other schools join the ABC Bank School Banking programme over the coming months.
How does School Banking work?
Once ABC Bank has the support of your child’s school, ABC Bank is then able to offer children at that school the opportunity to register for ABC Bank’s School Banking Programme. The registration packs are made available through the participating school offices and will give you a full guide to ABC Bank’s School Banking Programme.
Once your child is registered, they’ll receive a kid’s School Banking pack from ABC Bank. This pack will include specially designed deposit envelopes for them to use to make their deposits through the Kashin drop box located in your child’s school administration area. And other items to encourage them into good savings behaviours.
What account is used for School Banking?
For those children that already have an ABC Bank Headstart account open, they’re able to deposit money into this account through the School Banking Programme. For those children that don’t bank with ABC Bank or have a different savings account through ABC Bank, a new Headstart account will need to be opened.
