Saver Plus was developed by Brotherhood of St Laurence and ANZ in 2002 to assist families on lower incomes establish a savings habit, become long-term savers and build financial skills, knowledge and confidence.
Saver Plus is a 10-month financial literacy and matched savings program that assists people to build savings for their own or their children’s education and in doing so strengthens their capacity to save.
As part of the program, participants receive:
- one dollar in matched savings for every one dollar they save, up to $500
- MoneyMinded financial training
- personal support and guidance from a trusted community organisation.
At the end of the program participants use their matched savings to purchase an education-related goal, which can include items like school uniforms, computers, and text books.
