Famzoo

SFerguson10 · 9 years ago · v3.0

Not a good option for anyone over 15 yrs old. Setup is tedious, requires all parties to be on the phone for verification. Beware: Not easy to cancel or terminate card(s).

Love the app and the service!

Huham · 9 years ago · v3.0

Set up was a synch, service is great, my kids love having this card

Our family couldnt love this more

Kirk Strauser · 9 years ago · v3.0

We use FamZoo to hand out allowances. Its great not having to remember to come home on Friday with cash to dole out, and theres never a question of "did I remember to pay her already?" Our kids love having the power to check their balances at any time, and were thrilled that theyre learning how bank accounts work while theyre young enough that mistakes dont really hurt them. Customer service has been top notch the few times when weve needed help (always because of mistakes on our end, not FamZoos). Ive recommended the service to multiple family friends.

Fantastic!

I love FamZoo. This tool has been amazing. It has helped my kids learn to better handle money. They feel confident about how theyre earning and spending with access to the app even at age 9.

Terrific app

John - Chief Mammal · 9 years ago · v3.0

This app allowed us to move from the physical to the digital domain pretty seamlessly. As founder, Bill Dwight, points out, it’s important for kids to understand that digital money is as valuable as physical money and this app is a great way to do that. We also like that it’s not tied to any spending platforms. This is just good, solid allowance and goal-setting training. It’s simple and easy-to-use.

Great app - better customer service

Jason B in Fargo ND · 9 years ago · v3.0

Best intentions are laid to waste if not executed upon. As my kids were younger, I planned on giving them a weekly salary and the opportunity to earn bonuses. If they earned $x.xx in a week, I wanted to split their earning to be designated for three categories spend/save/give. Additionally, I wanted to help my youngings understand the benefits of savings with a matching dollars (I call it the 401Dad program) and aggressive interest paid on savings. The complexities of my plans made it difficult if not impossible for me to execute consistently. FamZoo has helped me set it up and has been there for every step of the way. Their FAQs answer most questions I may have but their customer support crew regularly returns e-mail inquiries within hours. This is my first app review ever but I took the time to write this because I feel that strongly about FamZoo and the need to provide kids with financial education. My oldest just bought his own first car with his own money and my 10 year old just bought $500 in stock with some of his savings. Use FaZoo and take the time to dig into it and do it right. If you are looking for a simple allowance managment system, FamZoo will meet your needs too but I call all but guarantee you will do more with it than you anticipated.

Go To App for Kids Finance

Ive used Famzoo for many years with each of my three kids. Its awesome for teaching financial acumen and responsibility, including things like saving, budgeting and charitable giving. We use it with the Famzoo debit card to manage the kids allowance and lunch money. Its super easy and allows parents to instantly transfer money when its needed. And I can just as easily take money off their cards when the leave their dirty underwear on the floor
