  • BEST kids money app, although it still needs tweaking

    Barrickmana

    This app is incredible! There are a few things that could stand to be tweaked but even with those hiccups it’s by far the best kids money app out there!The awesome stuff: you transfer money in to a family wallet and then can distribute it to the kid’s accounts. They can see it on their devices, even spend it with their digital debit card. So cool! You can set up weekly allowance and they can put it in savings or spending. What’s better: you can set up tasks for them to earn money. There are even deadlines to do these things. Amazing.The challenges: I find some aspects difficult to navigate. For example, it’s easy to transfer money to a kid, but I can’t figure out how to make a deduction from a kid’s account. My kids are younger (7 and 10) so they aren’t using their debit cards yet (although I’m thrilled that they’ll be able to in the future!) so at this point it’s more of a record keeper for us. I don’t think I can manage the kids accounts on their behalf- I believe they need to go in on their device to do this. I’d love to be able to make adjustments like transferring some of their money to their savings. Overall, Jassby you are crushing it! Thank you for making such an awesome app! I would totally pay a one-time fee for it.

  • Jassby is exceptional

    Jassby is an exceptional debit card for kids that makes managing allowances a breeze. As a parent, I love that I can instantly transfer funds and set spending notifications and limits all from their user-friendly app. Within minutes, my daughter had her stylish card ready to swipe or tap.She immediately started using it to pay for her snacks and activities with friends. The real-time notifications give me peace of mind always knowing her spending. An added plus is that Jassby has partnered with some of her favorite brands to offer discounts and cashback rewards when she shops with her card.Overall, the Jassby debit card provides an unparalleled experience for parents to conveniently manage allowances digitally while teaching financial responsibility. I highly recommend Jassby as the perfect first spending card for tech-savvy kids.

  • An app that has potential for a growing digital world

    Dan43434

    I think the app is a very good concept in the way that parents set allowances to other members of family a set amount of money. In an ever growing digital world I think it’s good to teach children how to handle cash and how to handle a amount of money on the screen. It’s a lot easier to spend money virtually because you don’t see it physically leave your wallet and that’s where this app allows you to teach your kids about having a bank account and financial habits. I feel like using it for the first time was quite a learning experience but once you learn how to use it it can be a great tool. The app also has issues where sometimes it just blurs out and you have to reset it.

  • Issues fixed!

    Brandislee

    EDITED W/ UPDATE:After I made my last review customer service called me and was able to fix the login issue. There must have been an issue that prevented me from getting their email Before that. I like the idea of this app, and it would be great if it actually worked, but my password stopped working, and I was unable to reset my password due to having registered using a social media account and given no other options to fix it. In addition, my daughter’s version of the app just stopped working- she gets nothing but an error message. And i have gotten no responses to my multiple messages to support, either.

  • Limited

    After I had loaded $50 (split between 2 kids) my son tried to get $35 worth of gift cards. They allowed him the $5 one. Then emailed me they suspected suspicious activity and locked us all out of the account. I did get a response to my own email that they only remove the money from my checking when the kids purchase something but I still have no idea if they still have access to my cc #.This app is definitely in its infancy, the stuff they can “buy” is over priced and there isn’t much to choose from. It’s probably better to just get a kids starter checking account at your bank. It’s a lot easier to use and you can teach them how to hunt for the best deal on stuff!

  • Terrible

    notfreejassby

    For something that was solicited as free service during a test with World Strides to make things easier for our child’s travel, has been nothing but difficult. They don’t answer emails, there’s no phone number to contact and so far I’ve been charged service fees for something that I can’t even get to work. Not a fan of companies that have electronic only communication, this is terrible customer service at best and we will not be continuing this said “free” but hasn’t been “free” service as soon as she gets back. If her card ever starts working and she gets to use any of my money we’ve put on it at all. Signed not a fan of Jassby
