Developed by parents for our kids...

KiDebit was created in the kitchen of our founders home when his daughter asked why she wasn't getting her weekly payments again because mom and dad had no real cash on hand. It became difficult to track how much he owed his daughters, or how much they needed to deduct from her home piggy bank after going out shopping. Until one Sunday their daughter asked if she could just have a Kid Debit card instead of cash. EUREKA~! That night the founder stayed up till sunrise creating the first prototype app of KiDebit. A card printed on paper, laminated with clear duck tape and a no thrill app changed their families life forever. The next morning the kids were handed their first KiDebit card and said "scan it!". The look on their face was priceless after they saw their total virtual balance on the app. Sure its a virtual card and the real money is still in mom and dads real bank account. But for the kids, it was REAL, and the learning experience that follows this story is priceless!

WHAT DOES THE APP DO?

KiDebit Mobile App is a simple child friendly app that scans a child's KiDebit card and displays their virtual balance. The app also lets children set savings, spending and giving goals for stuff they want to spend their money on! When parents want to pay their kids or give them a cash gift, they simply add or deduct the virtual amount with the app and enter a PIN. The app allows for parents to sign in with Google / Facebook so they can add children accounts, order cards and edit child profile info.

WHAT IS A KIDEBIT CARD?

Our innovation that allows a child as young as 4 years old the ability to view their virtual piggy balance with a simple scan of their card. Adults can order a high quality printed card which provides children the most realistic look and feel of a debit card OR simply print one out with a home printer for free! Kids can have one or more cards and there is no real value on the card. So when lost, and trust us...,they lose cards all the time! But its better than losing cash or a real debit! No worries, just print more!

How does it teach children?

A child believes the card is just like mom and dad's debit card. They carry it with them, which teaches them responsibility. Kids also are empowered to spend and save when they know how much money they have anytime and anywhere they want. The key is for parents to allow kids to spend THEIR money. KiDebit helps enable parents to easily spend their kids money when shopping because kids can ask "Can I buy this..." and now can answer their own question by checking cost price and their available balance. It's EASY to Teach Kids about the Value of Money!
