SquareOne - Youth Money 4+

Great App, and more importantly a GREAT TEAM.

A nice easy set up towards teaching our children the importance of Budget and Spending accountability. Easy top ups and money allocation in Family View, a good and easy dashboard to read so I can see at a glance all of my kids balances. And a friendly and supportive team that responds quickly to any issues and keeps you updated on the progress of fixing them. I must note that all purchases need to be made using credit, so it also gives my children the responsibility to plan their spending as not a lot of stores accept credit instore BUT online purchases and the like go through with minimal fuss. I say again FANTASTIC team to deal with, don’t wait download now Whanau💪🏽🙏🏽👍🏾

As an extra part our Home has 7 children in it (a blended home) the Square one team have been a huge help sorting out seperate accounts for both homes to give both parenting parties the ability to work together to provide our children with a fantastic financial platform.
Which has never been possible anywhere else but at SquareOne - Well done Guys🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thankful for such a great app

I got this app after being a little sceptical.
I wanted something for my kids to save for our holiday, this worked perfectly! They saved on the app and I locked the savings account and set it to open the day we left! They used the app to monitor their money and spending and to do jobs. You can set up pocket money and tasks they can tick off. It sends me a notification every time they use it. Also the card is easy to customise control wise, I turned off online spending and payWave for both kids (ages 12 and 5).
Miss 12yo has the app on her phone and loves it, I just let Mr 5 browse his interface once a week on my phone.
I’ve been using it to also teach the kids to be responsible with money, not only financially but also physically, to look after the card as it has money on it.
From the parent dashboard you can set up jobs, move money, add funds to the wallet to transfer to the kids accs/cards. They can also accept payment from other users and from their family, as the wallet has an acc number. you can reset and change the pin easily which is also ideal.
I do like cash but, digital is the way we are moving.
I’m happy that this app is avail so my kids can have an understanding of banking before they actually open their own.

Slow tech works

App is amazing until it stops working properly - frozen on paying kids . Kids were excited about getting jobs done and seeing it digitally until they are not paid because the app won’t work .and their card is frozen saying it’s not connected . Even as a parent asking for the follow up and getting the same answer . I joined because of the feed back and had been running for a bit , so looked seamless . We have only been using it for under a week properly when we received the cool cards . Help support started on Saturday - then after a couple of messages you have to wait till Monday now it Tuesday and the only response is we are waiting for the tech team . Finally fixed - all it was card name connected to the parent account was invalid use so they had locked the account and unfortunately no communication about it till later . App up and running so hopefully no more issues , I fully support this app the kids love the interaction with it .
