Get is a family app designed to help parents and children manage their money together. Children get their own money account and prepaid VISA card and parents can track their childs spending, set savings goals and organise regular pocket money payments in the app. We are going to be different because financial institutions aren’t education institutions and they aren’t built for kids. But schools aren’t financial institutions either - so what now? GET is the intersection between the 2 concepts. We want to empower children to make smarter money choices and give them the independence to do so in a completely safe environment. In a digital age, where money is less tangible than ever, Get represents the future of financial education.
