A family learning platform — not a bank

Teach kids about money by letting them practise it.

Money Journey gives kids a safe place to earn, spend, save and give — while parents stay in control and guide the decisions.

Safe pretend money. Real conversations. Real habits.
🛡️ No bank account needed

Money Journey is not a bank and does not connect to your bank account. Kids practise with simulated money — no real-money transactions are involved.

🌱 More than learning about money

Help your child become money-ready.

Money Journey is not a bank, and it does not replace a bank account or debit card. It gives children a safe place to practise making money decisions before they are dealing with real money.

When the time comes for their first real bank account or debit card, they can already have some of the habits and decision-making skills needed to use them responsibly.

Practise today. Be ready for tomorrow.

💰 Understand earning and spending
🛒 Think before making purchases
🐷 Build saving habits
🎯 Set goals and work towards them
🎓 Learn through story-based Missions
🧠 Make sensible money decisions
Learn · Save · Grow

Three simple steps. Repeated all through childhood.

Kids practise money safely, with a parent there to guide the conversation. Give children a practical way to learn about money before the stakes are real. Parents guide the journey, approve rewards and help children make decisions.

1

Earn together

Turn chores, challenges and everyday contributions into opportunities to understand where money comes from.

2

Choose what to do

Kids decide how to use their money across Spend, Save and Give — and learn the trade-offs.

3

Grow with confidence

Goals, rewards, transfers and interest make good habits visible and rewarding.

Three wallets

Simple enough for a child. Powerful enough to teach a habit.

Spend, Save and Give are the three wallets — Goals aren't a fourth wallet, they sit on top of Save.

💵

Spend

Money for choices they want to make today.

🐷

Save

Money set aside for later and for savings goals.

💜

Give

A simple, optional way to practise generosity.

💬 New · Moments

Small prompts. Real conversations.

Money Journey doesn't just hold money — it gently nudges kids to notice it, decide what to do with it, and talk with you about it. No lectures, no scores, nothing forced.

What a child sees

💰 "Got something to sort?" — money sitting in Spend, worth doing something with.
🎯 "What are you saving up for?" — a nudge when there's no Goal yet.
🤔 "Was it worth it?" — a one-tap 😀 😐 😕 the day after a real spend.

What you see

💬 "Ask Alex how their Auto Split is going."
✅ Alex chose Set up Auto Split.
These are for talking about together, not for telling off.

🎓 New · Adaptive Learning

Missions that turn money lessons into real understanding.

Short, story-based Missions ask kids to make a choice and see what happens — not lectures. Money Journey adapts to what a child already knows, and quietly tracks how well they're mastering each skill.

How a Mission works

📖 A short, real-life scenario
🤔 A question with genuine trade-offs, not just one "right" click
💬 An explanation, plus something to talk about with a grown-up
⭐ XP for finishing, more for really understanding it

Parents see exactly what to work on

Goals

Saving with something to aim for.

A child can have no goals today, one tomorrow, or several at once — Goals are just Save with a target.

No goals yet

Nothing saved up for, and that's fine

🎯 No savings goals yet — start one when you're ready.
Multiple goals

As many as they're saving for

How it flows

From challenge to conversation.

1

🏆 Challenge completed

The child finishes a challenge a parent set up.

2

🎁 Reward requested

A reward request is created automatically.

3

✅ Parent approves

The parent reviews it and approves — or asks about it first.

4

🎉 Child is rewarded

The money lands straight in their wallet.

Every approval, request and reward is an opportunity for a real conversation about money.

Not a bank. Not a debit card.

A safe place for kids to practise money.

Money Journey uses pretend, simulated balances so a child can rehearse real decisions — earning, spending, saving, giving — with nothing real on the line.

Our philosophy

Money Journey doesn't replace parents.

Parents guide. Kids practise. Everyone learns.

Every approval, request and reward is a real conversation waiting to happen — Money Journey just makes those moments visible.

"Every approval, request and reward is a chance for a real conversation about money, values and choices."
Built for real families

Safe by design. Useful every day.

🛡️

Safe pretend money

No real bank account. No real trading. Kids can practise without real-money risk.
