What is a SchoolBank?

A SchoolBank is a mini HSBC branch in your school. It's set up and managed by kids, for kids, with support and guidance of local branch employees. HSBC branch employees interview pupils for the different branch roles, train them and then support the running of SchoolBank.

SchoolBank makes financial education fun, whilst also teaching pupils how to manage their own small business.

Jobs in your SchoolBank

SchoolBanks need cashiers, sales advisors, marketing managers, branch managers, audit controllers and floorwalkers - all school pupils.

Your job could involve:

Opening accounts
Help pupils pay money into their account
Help answer customer enquiries
Organising the other staff
Planning and designing ad campaigns

Work experience

Working at a SchoolBank proves that you're responsible and independent, so it's ideal work experience. You'll also pick up a lot of real-world financial knowledge.

In return you will receive a Certificate & Statement of Achievement for your participation as SchoolBank employees, which will enhance your National Record of Achievement.

Information for teachers and parents

SchoolBank offers a different take on financial education, suitable for 7-11s (Key stage 2).

By running their own bank branch, children learn about:

Personal finance
The responsibilities of cash management
How to manage their own project

If you're interested in setting up a SchoolBank, just visit your local HSBC branch. We'll explain the details and see if it can work for your school.
