Greater Bank Finance Academy

The Greater Bank Finance Academy is a financial literacy outreach program delivered to high school students across the Hunter and Central Coast.

With course content created in partnership with University of Newcastle (theory) and Greater Bank (practical) the course is delivered by University of Newcastle student ambassadors and Greater Bank staff. The Finance Academy will be integrated into various subjects across year 9 and 10 curriculum.

Overall the program will provide the latest information on how community attitudes and people's relationships to money are changing and share information on financial topics that people of all ages need to consider when managing their money, including simple strategies on saving, reducing debt and how to avoid being scammed.

This idea of collaboration and community support is the underlying premise of what makes the partnership with the University so important for our business.

We have joined forces with a like-minded educational institution to provide members of the community, especially our next generation, with access to information that will help provide clarity and understanding around the intricacies of finance.

Greater Bank Finance Lab


Our partnership with the University of Newcastle has seen the establishment of the Greater Bank Finance Lab - University Trading Room. Located in the University’s city campus, NUspace, it is a dedicated teaching space equipped with 20 computers that facilitates a hands-on, interactive environment to promote learning in effective decision-making, economic systems, monetary markets and financial literacy.

The lab enables Newcastle Business School students to build their skills in financial decision-making, risk management and economic systems, before they graduate.
