Knowledge Counts
Our commitment to shaping our state started over 60 years ago, when we were founded by teachers, for teachers.
Our education banking benefits reward the South Australian education community and their eligible immediate family members with exclusive offers, discounts and products. It's our way of saying thank you.
If you work within education, no matter what sector — including public, private, university or studying education — you and your family are eligible for our exclusive banking benefits.
You and your family can enjoy special rates, products and fee waivers as part of our education banking benefits, while also feeling good about giving back to your local education community. It’s win-win!
