Guardian Savings is co-designed with teachers to incentivize smart habits at every step.
With Guardian Savings, you are the bank and our app is the ledger. This means your child can spend their savings when they are with you, without a reminder to bring cash or write an IOU.
We teach the practical financial skills and habits that can't be taught in schools. We employ incentives for saving, prompts for goal-setting, reflection tools, and more.
Kids appreciate being able to interact with their savings and act a little more like adults. Choosing a money mascot in the app is a plus!
