From the palm of their hands they can make real-life money decisions with parents serving as a safety net.\n\nTeens and kids can earn, save†, donate to charities† or spend on a personalized prepaid card. They can even use the funds to learn to invest* in real stocks. Hand-on experience is the best way for kids to learn, and with parents approving all money transactions leaving the app, it’s safer than giving them actual money.\n\nChores and allowance tracker:\nKids can earn an allowance by doing chores based on age and schedule. There are hundreds of chore/allowance combinations available but a parent can also add their own. In addition, the app’s chores and allowance tracker helps kids build important character traits like accountability, dependability, time management and teamwork. Enjoy our easy setup and real-time push notifications on chores and money transactions.\n\nTeach Easy Investing:\nIncluded in every BusyKid account! No upgrades needed! Teach your kids/teens how to invest from an early age and their potential can be limitless. Think college funds, first car, a home, and more. These valuable skills could help guide them through adulthood and create financial strength you can’t get with a bank alone. Learn to invest on our app and your assets are safe with our integrated investing platform, backed by Apex Clearing Corporation. Families can invest together, and within, just a few clicks make an investment for as little as $10 a transaction (and say goodbye to commissions).\n\nBusyPay†:\nInstead of wasting money on gift cards that could get lost, stolen or leave unused funds, use BusyPay and load money directly to a BusyKid child account. By sharing a BusyPay QR code friends and family can add money to an account for birthdays, holidays, or working for a neighbor. Even use this exclusive feature to BusyKid to send money to others using BusyKid.\n\nBeing Charitable:\nBusyKid promotes a balance financial lifestyle and that includes being charitable. Donating is important for more reasons than the tax implications. Our app has more than 60 local and national charities built in to help make sharing easy.\n\nSafety First:\nWe use the latest SSL encryption technology, and funds inside the app (child’s accounts) are FDIC Insured. The app and cards require individual PINs for use, and we strongly encourage all PINs be different. Parents receive alerts for any money transactions and card issues. Has all sensitive information stored by partners compliant with all Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.\n\nThe BusyKid Visa Prepaid Card is issued by Pathward®,N.A., Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. Card can be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. All cardholder funds are insured by the FDIC in accordance with the FDIC’s applicable terms and conditions. Cliq® is the exclusive and authorized Servicer of the BusyKid VISA Prepaid Card.\n\n*BusyKid's provision of access to securities products and brokerage services are offered by Apex Clearing Corporation.
