Problem
Parents often struggle to give children controlled access to cash, leading to lost money, overspending, and limited opportunities for teaching financial responsibility. Traditional cash allowances lack real‑time monitoring and safe, digital transaction options.
Solution
Pixpay provides a prepaid payment card designed for children and teens aged 8 and up, linked to a mobile app that lets parents allocate allowances, set spending limits, and block merchants. The card works worldwide for in‑store and online purchases, eliminating the need for cash. Real‑time transaction notifications keep parents informed, while built‑in AI tools guide adolescents in budgeting, saving, and earning. The platform also supports multiple parents managing the same account, offering a unified view of the child’s pocket money.
Target Audience
