We all know
the benefit getting into the habit of saving has for us all.
By starting at
kinder, children get into that habit early and get a real kick out of watching
their savings grow.
Some tips for healthy savings:
- Let
your child take control of their savings. Keep their Bendigo Bank Piggy
Account Passbook in their room and remind them to organise their book the
night before kinder banking.
- It
doesn’t have to be much. As little as 50 cents a week can help your child
get into great saving habits.
- Perhaps
they can be encouraged to do a few extra jobs to help their parents or
caregivers and earn some money to deposit into their account.
- Children
love seeing something tangible for all their hard saving work. Let them
have a saving goal at the end of the year and suggest they may be able to
withdraw a portion of their savings for this.
- When
your child opens an account with us, they will also receive a Bendigo Bank
Piggy for their coins which is another great saving tool.
Setting your
children up with the skills to help them establish their financial security
into the future can be one of the best gifts you can give them.
So why not
start today by digging out your child’s existing passbook account or pop into
your local branch and the friendly staff can open an account for your child in
as little as ten minutes.
All you need
is their birth certificate and your drivers licence. Easy!
We look
forward to seeing you soon and guiding your child on the path to saving.
