GoHenry Youth Debit Card & App 4+

I ordered a card for each of my grandkids when Gohenry first came out. I definitely enjoyed the convenience of being able to load their cards for chores, good deeds, birthdays and holidays. Although, as with any new business, I did experience a few frustrations when grandkids would try to use their cards at some stores, and it would decline their purchase, when there was definitely money in their account to use. There were also a few times that I had loaded money on their cards in the middle of the night, just because I happened to be awake and just happen to think of it at that time. Yet, the next morning, my granddaughter tried to use it to get her birthday gift she had been so excited to get, and it again declined. When I called in, they told me it was because it was suspicious that it had been loaded at such an odd hour. As I do understand the importance of security measures to avoid fraud, i just felt like I was calling in with every other purchase they were trying to make. I am very happy to see the improvements with their site, and the changes for families to be able to use together with ease. Overall, I am very happy with Gohenry, and I will be ordering my newest grandson his card as soon as I can.
Ultimately, the entire idea of having the kids earn, learn and save, is a very important life lesson at any age, but being able to start young, has the potential to boost the confidence and pride to a great start of a secure financial future. 👍🏽

Hi there, thank you so much for your feedback and the 5* rating! It's so lovely to hear that you have seen an improvement with the service since you started with us, but if there's anything further you feel we could be doing please do let us know! - Bella :)

I absolutely love this app!! I looked into a couple others before I found gohenry and I’m so glad I found it. It works perfectly for me as a busy working mom. No having to remember to get cash to pay allowances. I use it as a motivation tool for many things from getting chores done to savings goals. Kids love it and it’s easy for them to use on their own phone. I really can’t think of a single bad thing to say about it. Its also a great introduction for kids on how to keep track of their money as it comes and goes and as a parent it is important to have control over their card and where they spend their money. I noticed they’ve been spending too much on video game stuff on Xbox online so I was able to restrict them from online spending for a while to encourage them to save their money or spend it more wisely. I was able to send extra money instantly to my son during his field trip after I forgot to give him money that morning. The features are great and customer service is good too.

Hello, thank you so much for the positive feedback, we really appreciate it, especially from happy members! It's fantastic to hear you've been able to use gohenry effectively to help your son save his money! If you have any issues then please don't hesitate to get in contact with us! Have a lovely week and take care, Caelan :)

I only gave it a 4 due to my son and I weren’t able to use the service long enough to give it a full 5. Although I due believe I’m the long run I would have ended up givin it a 5 I didn’t feel right givin it a perfect score because I can’t say weather or not the app would continuously be useful. My son and I living situation changed but what we were able to look at and utilize i found to be useful and judging solely just glancing at what would have layer ahead for us seemed to go extremely further than what I imagined. It looks like the app’s purpose was fully thought out and hits all sorts of topics. As with everything you have a quick idea of it and then while looking thru it you go thru the oh yea’s and yeah that too obviously there had tons of time and people working hard on it and you just have the top topics you could pull from your head in just a few seconds prior. But there were plenty that I thought either yea that slipped my mind or I didn’t think to bring that up and also I thought sone of the approaches were well thought out or designed. I would definitely recommend you to atleast check it out if you are interested in teaching your little ones about heir finances and start them in a strong path on the journey into this world. I think as parents we should do more for our im youth especially in finance because it is so overlooked and very easy to form bad habits.
