This is the card that my husband and I use to teach our kids how to have success with money! It's a money app and debit card for kids and teens that let's me send our kids money instantly, assign chores, define financial success, and teach them to earn, save, and invest!

The also have an easy "send money" feature that is a QR code just like other money sharing apps... it's a great way for Grandparents or Babysitting clients to send money to our kids, and WE have the power to approve each transfer.
