Tips for parents

Kids know they need money to buy things. But it can take a while to understand just how much they need, and how long it takes to save. Help your kids learn the value of money with these tips.

  • When you withdraw cash from an ATM, show your kids the receipt. This shows that you need money in your account before you can take money out.
  • Encourage kids to save for something they want. You can help them track their progress with timelines on how long it will take at their current savings rate, and how this will change if they increase or decrease their spending.
  • Use heaps!, our personal financial management tool, to set and monitor savings goals. You access heaps! through internet banking and it automatically downloads account information to make reaching goals easy – and fun!
  • Teach your kids that they can earn interest when they save, but have to pay it to borrow money.
