Canadian Bankers Association - Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy

“Your Money’’ is the CBA’s financial literacy resource for youth. Every year bankers from CBA member institutions volunteer to visit classrooms across Canada to present a seminar that covers topics such as budgeting, saving, investing, borrowing and fraud prevention. This non-commercial program teaches young adults about responsible money management. The Your Money website (www.yourmoney.cba.ca)also provides resources for parents to teach their kids financial literacy at home.

Developed in partnership with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada more than ten years ago, the ‘’Your Money’’ program has reached over 205,000 students across Canada. Teachers can request a seminar for their class online and are then matched to a volunteer banker from their community. The seminar is interactive, and students have the opportunity to actively participate. Find out more, or register at www.yourmoney.cba.ca.
