LET’S INTRODUCE OURSELVES

We’re a venture-scaler powered by CommBank. That means we build, buy, and invest in startups that could benefit the bank’s 15 million customers and beyond.
Because of what we do, we’re really neither corporate, nor startup – instead we’re happily navigating the space between both worlds. We’re close enough to benefit from the bank’s strategy, scale, and stability, but separate enough that we have the autonomy to try new things.
Kit is an earning-and-learning money app helping young people do more. Our nifty nudges and kid-friendly explainers make money make sense. Kids learn best by in-the-moment experience, so we built Kit – our friendly sidekick. Kit has the smart money know-how to nurture positive behaviors through nifty nudges and bite-sized educational content. Kit is built by x15ventures and wholly owned by CommBank. We are a venture in scale-up mode, which means we’re endlessly improving to deliver the best experience for young people and their parents and carers in Australia.
