About Cha-Ching

At its core, Cha-Ching consists of a series of three-minute music videos featuring six lively characters to help children learn about the fundamental money management concepts: Earn, Save, Spend and Donate.

The six characters in the programme are members of the Cha-Ching band, each with a different approach to money management. Cha-Ching music videos feature catchy songs with lyrics and enhanced subtitles that children can sing along to, aiding comprehension and retention.

The episodes air on Cartoon Network, the number one children's channel in Asia, in eight markets: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
