If you’ve ever despaired that your child’s spending habits are more about spotting ‘something shiny!’ and splurging, there’s a solution to teaching them to save and achieve long-term goals. Check out the video of our road-test and read on to find out how YOU can take the new system for a spin!
Spriggy is the new way to help manage your child’s birthday money, pocket money or lemonade stand takings! The app works in conjunction with a prepaid card for kids aged 6 to 17, and parents can supervise spending through the app. The easy-to-use system encourages good saving and spending habits that will be there for life.
This purpose-built app gives kids the chance to be active learners, with features to help encourage smart saving, sensible spending and money monitoring… and, gives mum and dad total control and visibility.
How it works…
- Independent – to a point! Kids have a prepaid card loaded with their own money (which parents allocate)
- Supervised spending: Parents can see the child’s transactions live, in real time
- Encourages saving: Kids can watch their balance grow and set long-term financial goals. Visual savings goals keep them motivated and encourages a save not spend mentality
- Quick stop: If the card is lost (or you need to step in!) there’s an in-app option for instant turn on and off – and turn back on again when it’s found at the bottom of the school bag as usual!
