There has never been a more important time for children to learn about work ethic and managing money. Nearly 85% of high school graduates in the U.S. fail to take a single course on finance or economics, leaving them unprepared for the numerous financial decisions facing them as adults. BusyKid has been designed to help parents teach their kids valuable lessons, including how to earn, save, share, spend and invest money wisely.

BusyKid also helps build sound work ethic and solid money management skills starting at a young age. Children between the ages of 5-16 find BusyKid to be very easy to use and become increasingly motivated as their save, share and spend accounts grow.

FRIDAY IS PAYDAY!
With BusyKid, your children will discover Friday is more than the last day of the school week. Its payday! The automatic money transfer allows parents to ok the chores and the earned allowance before moving it directly to the save, share and spend accounts of each child. Think of BusyKid as the first job for your children with direct deposit.

BUILDING RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY.
All parents want children who are responsible and accountable. BusyKid helps build these strong character traits by allowing children to manage their time, chores and money. Parents need only verify that chores are completed. If everything checks out, your children get paid.

SPENDING WISELY.
Children will have multiple ways to spend their allowance - gift cards, stock or making donations to charities. A parent can also order a BusyKid Prepaid VISA Spend Card so a child (any age) can make purchases.

PARENTAL APPROVALS VIA TEXT.
For a parent, approving any movement of money and the weekly payday is as simple as answering yes or no to text message.

INVISBILE MONEY.
Its estimated that less than 10% of all the money in the world are coins and paper. That means that we use mostly "invisible money" everyday, yet our children dont learn how to use or manage these funds. BusyKid is all invisible (but real) money. The perfect way for your children to prepare for the real world as an adult.

PAY A BONUS.
Pay your child a bonus for doing a great job. Its easy to do and will show your children how hard work is really appreciated.
