If you are trying to teach your child the value of money, and the importance of money management (a key skill in today’s society), then you are going to love PKTMNY. This is pocket money for the digital age. With PKTMNY children take their first steps to managing their own money in a safe and secure environment controlled by you.
PKTMNY provides kids with a contactless prepaid VISA debit card, which parents personalise for their child by setting controls on where and how much they can spend. It’s the first card ever to have such a functionality and it is linked to an online platform featuring interactive, age appropriate tools that make managing money, saving and spending fun.
PKTMNY was created by a group of parents who recognised that children need to learn money management in a digital world. Cash is being used less and less for daily transactions, and so these parents identified the need for children to be able to learn about money in a controlled way that helps them understand its value.
Mark Timbrell CEO and Founder of PKTMNY said “As a parent, I know just how difficult it is to teach children about money, especially as the school curriculum focuses on using cash and visiting banks neither of which reflect how children see money being used. PKTMNY has been designed so that in using it, children learn the value of money and through doing, gain the financial skills that will prepare them for the world they will grow into.”
Another useful use of PKTMNY is that relatives can gift money safely and securely towards savings goals set by the child. Parents simply create a Family Network for their child and invite relatives to gift, for example at birthdays or Christmas, towards their child’s saving target.
PKTMNY aims to develop the site so that families can avail of special offers and discounts designed to help your family's money go further. This is integrated within the PKTMNY platform and offers families access to carefully selected age appropriate retailers including The Entertainer, Superdry, Hamley’s, New Look, Zaavi and more.
