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 learning journey

"I can sit down now and listen to the grandchildren, and even with my own kids, listen to their home readers, do their home readers with them, and even read the kids stories. I feel more confident and more happy in my own self."

Writing in plain English at Houston's Farm

"It's also given us another opportunity to talk about plain English generally, and what that means to the business, and to emphasise that gone are the days that you need to use long words and complicated sentences in a business-related document. The theme is always keep it simple and transfer the message as clearly as possible."

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.
