Bank of us, 26Ten member

Bank of us's story

Bank of us has been a member of the 26Ten Network since 2022.

“At Bank of us we are proud to be a member of the 26Ten network.

As a 100% Tasmanian owned bank, we understand the real need to support Tasmanians to improve literacy and numeracy as these are the foundation of financial wellness. Bank of us CEO, Paul Ranson said 26Ten Week 2023 was an opportunity to focus on simple steps people can take to build their confidence with their finances.”

Julie's story

"The value of a 26Ten grant is that it allows Deb from TasTAFE to come into the Council to work one-on-one with employees. It's a great way to build the confidence people need to learn."

Julie's story as an adult learner

"If I had a tutor like Anne back at school it really would have made a difference. What I’d say to others is, don’t feel ashamed. Come in and see someone. I feel better in myself, more confident. I can now go to the supermarket and add things up, read the backs of cans and know what is inside."

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
