“Parent Mode” – 5 Core Features to Teach Kids about Finance
#1 Send Money and Rewards
FinPod makes it simple to send pocket money/allowance, or as a one-off reward to your kids! In the App, you may set up recurrent transfers (either as stars or allowance), such as weekly allowance, as well for transfers that are scheduled on particular dates, like birthdays or Christmas. Additionally, you can offer one-time rewards, say for positive behavior.
#2 Assign Task
Simply fill out the task details and set a deadline will allow you to assign tasks and objectives for your child. You have the option of setting the reward for each task, stars and/or money, and design your reward schedule together with your children. For younger kids, you can start by using stars as the reward system to introduce them to the concept of working for a reward, and once that concept is established it can be transitioned to a combination with money so children can start learning about financial concepts.
#3 Review Task
The tasks assigned to your children are listed on a dashboard, allowing you to quickly evaluate the numerous assignments and see whether they have been performed or not. To review and rate each task individually, you can tap on the task details. Once the tasks are reviewed, the pre-agreed rewards will be automatically registered to your child’s account.
#4 Track Tasks and Saving Progress
Lost track of your child’s to-do list? FinPod allows you to keep track of all your child’s daily chores, their completion status and what requires attention in real-time, allowing you to stay on top of their progress and give your kids timely reminders. Additionally, you may check on your child’s savings balance and incoming/outgoing transaction history at any time.
#5 Add Wishes
Manage your children’s desires through communication and agreeing with them on defined saving wishes – set a timeline and target amount, whether it be in money or stars, and let them work toward their goal and stay motivated.
