BusyKid's features help your kids gain valuable hands-on experience for managing money.
Our app is easy to use and will motivate your kids to save, share, invest and spend allowance they earned doing jobs around your home.
BusyKid is designed to provide your kids with real life lessons in managing money. For as little as $19.99 a year, your entire family will learn to save, share, spend, and invest real money - all from the palm of their hands. Stop fighting over chores and watch your busy kids become motivated and money smart!
The BusyKid system is fully engaged when you activate your BusyKid Visa® Prepaid Spend Card and your child is able to learn how to shop responsibly in stores or online. Cards are accepted everywhere as other Visa cards but have no ATM access.
*A $.61 fee will be added to the price of the card if purchased using a credit card. A BusyKid Visa® Prepaid Spend Card is not required to use the app.
The BusyKid Chore & Allowance Tracker is free to use and allows families to add chores and track them through a Friday payday. Each Friday, the virtual allowance will reset to zero and parents will need to pay allowance outside the app. This version is ideal for families with very young children not ready to use real money yet or without mobile devices. When the kids are ready, updating to the full version of BusyKid is easy! To use the Chore & Allowance Tracker, just select this option when enrolling through the app.
BusyKid provides a chore chart where the chores and allowance are preset by the age of the child. Parents have the option to manipulate these as well.
BusyKid is the only chore chart app that gives your kids the opportunity to use their allowance to invest in stock for companies like Disney, Apple, and Netflix.
Through a special arrangement with our partner, Stockpile, there is no fee when buying a stock, and a $.99 fee when selling one.
Through BusyKid, kids have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, and your kids can make a difference too by donating a percentage of their allowance with a growing list of charities inside the app.
Reward an outstanding performance, getting straight A’s in school or for going above and beyond while helping out around the house. The BusyKid Bonus gives a parent or grandparent the chance to pay a bonus to any child to show appreciation for a job well done.
While BusyKid is designed to allow children to make financial decisions, when it comes to any money moving outside the system for cash, donations, stock or shopping on a BusyKid Spend Card, a parent must approve.
BusyKid provides a detailed history of all chores, paydays and transactions, including anything that happens on a BusyKid Spend Card. The “Activity Feed” gives a parent a “real time” look into what a child is doing.
A family subscription comes with a free Spend Card. There are 10 designs to pick from!
