The kids’ debit card & app that grows with your kids

A GoHenry debit card and app is just like a regular kids' bank account—but way better. It teaches kids and teens how to be independent and smart with money by helping them track their spending, budgets, savings goals, and more—all with support and guidance from their parents.

Love this app! My kids have been more motivated to do their chores and love seeing money getting adding to their balance. They’ve learned a lot about how to manage their money and save.
