About the Canadian Bankers Association
The Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) works on behalf of 51 domestic banks, foreign bank subsidiaries and foreign bank branches operating in Canada. Representing 263,400 employees, the CBA advocates for fair and effective regulatory policies governing banks. The CBA also provides information about the banking industry and financial issues to the consumers, government and the media.
About YourMoney
The CBA in partnership with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) developed the YourMoney seminar as part of their commitment to improving financial literacy among Canadians. This website was created to accompany the YourMoney financial literacy seminar offered to high-school students as a source of free, non-commercial content educating young people on basic financial concepts and skills such as saving, budgeting and wise use of credit.
The YourMoney seminar also complements The City, a web-based financial education resource developed by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada in collaboration with the British Columbia Security Commission (BCSC). Teachers using The City can bring in a YourMoney banker as a guest speaker to discuss the financial issues addressed in The City's 11 learning modules.
For close to ten years, the CBA has provided seminars to high-school students through a network of 800 community-level banker volunteers who present the seminar in classrooms across the country. To date, more than 186,000 students have participated in the YourMoney program.
