Tools to use at home

How we've helped kids with their banking
We started supporting kids in 1875 with Penny Bank Accounts, then school banking came along in 1927. For decades we gave kids free Kashin elephant moneyboxes, starting in 1964. GetWise in schools was launched in 2010 and in 2015 we introduced the world's first cashless moneybox, Clever Kash. Now we've made accessing GetWise easy anywhere, anytime.
Our bank account for kids
Teach your kids good savings habits with our ASB Headstart kid's account - our children's savings (and transaction) account. It earns interest and has no fees.
When you open a Headstart account, your child will receive a Headstart Starter Pack and can embark on the interactive spy themed GetWise mission, with fun assignments to develop their money-smart skills online.
The Headstart Starter Pack also includes a pencil case and coloured pencils.
