School Community Rewards provides a regular financial benefit for your school without having to donate any time or money.
How it works
- Simply take out any of our highly competitive Home Loans, Car Loans or Personal Loans.
- Nominate your school as a School Community Rewards beneficiary.
- We will then calculate 0.20% of your loan amount(s) and your nominated school will receive the valuable funds when they wish.
It’s win-win! You’ll get the benefits of our great rates and products, while also delivering an ongoing financial benefit to your school.
*Example is for illustrative purposes only and based on 0.20% p.a. of a $400,000 home loan balance for an entire year without any repayments. Actual donation amounts will vary depending on individual loan terms.
So far, our School Community Rewards program has raised a total of $618,241 for participating South Australian Schools!
Since we joined the School Community Rewards program we have received over $32,000. This has enabled us to undertake significant upgrades to the school including a new bike cage, school garden and play equipment. Being part of the program was especially beneficial during 2020 when COVID-19 hit as it meant we were still able to fundraise despite all our usual annual fundraising events being cancelled.

"Being able to have a lower rate home loan, with flexibility that suits our needs, and help out my children’s school with fundraising at the same time is just fantastic. The process to switch to Credit Union SA was transparent and super easy. We are now saving hundreds and paying our mortgage off quicker."JackHighbury Primary School Parent | June 2021
