MyBnk is a UK charity that delivers expert-led financial education to 5-25 year olds in schools and youth organisations – direct, virtually and online.
Together with young people, we have created innovative, high impact and high energy workshops that bring money to life. MyBnk cover topics such as saving, budgeting, debt, independent living and public and student finance. We also design projects and training programmes for others. Since 2007 MyBnk has helped over 270,000 young people learn how to manage their money.
