Teaching financial education and supporting the career development of young Kiwis is the backbone of MyMahi – an online platform supported by Westpac.

MyMahi consists of 90 lesson plans for Year 7 to 13 students and has been used by 32,000 pupils across 140 schools since launching at the end of 2018, with interest growing.

The components of MyMahi’s financial capability lessons have been based on Westpac’s Managing Your Money programme, an initiative Westpac has been facilitating throughout the community since 2006.

Understanding spending versus budgeting and how debt works are just a couple of the lessons that a new generation of Kiwi kids will be learning in schools.
