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.”

Scott's digital literacy journey

"I was so proud of myself because I sent five words to her to say how was she going, or how are you ... and now, you just do the motions on it, and you don't even know you've sent it. Yeah, thumbs up, go for it. It sounds scary, some of it still is scary for me, but go outside your comfort zone, just get into it."

Jasson's story as an adult learner

"I have really enjoyed being able to read the newspaper and so I am now able to talk to others about news articles I have read."

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.
