Why families pick My Coin

Built around what actually works

Zero financial risk

Coins are a tracking number, not money. Nothing can be bought, transferred, redeemed or lost. Period.

Built for family time

Designed as a 60-second daily ritual you do together — not another app for your kid to disappear into.

Savings made visual

Watch a goal jar fill up as coins are earned. Compound interest is shown as a growing curve kids can actually see.

Goals that mean something

A toy, an outing, a treat — kids choose the goal, parents control the real-world payoff.

Habit-building loop

Tiny daily wins compound into lifelong money confidence — backed by behavioural research.

Simple, not simplistic

Three taps to mark a chore done. Hours of grown-up money lessons baked underneath.

The basics

What is a kids money app, really?

A kids money app is software that helps parents teach financial habits — earning, saving, spending and giving — in a way kids can actually grasp. The best ones replace abstract grown-up concepts (interest, budgeting, opportunity cost) with visual loops kids see and feel every day.

My Coin focuses on the part that research keeps confirming matters most: the daily ritual. A child who completes a chore, sees their parent acknowledge it, and watches a goal inch closer learns more about money than any lecture, sticker chart or piggy bank could deliver.

Crucially, My Coin is not a debit card, marketplace or virtual currency. Coins represent effort and progress — never money. That keeps the app safe, simple and free of the in-app spending traps most kids apps slip into.

Who it helps

Who is My Coin for?

Parents of kids aged 4–14

Old enough to grasp cause and effect, young enough to form lifelong habits. The sweet spot for money education.

Families who want fewer screens, not more

Kids don't need an account. You run the app; they live in the real world doing real chores and earning real rewards.

Parents tired of sticker charts that fade

All the structure of a chore chart, with savings goals, history and a reward loop that actually sticks.

Grandparents and co-parents

Multiple adults can join a single family account so chores, points and rewards stay consistent across households.

How it works in My Coin

How My Coin works — start to reward

The whole loop fits in under a minute a day. That's the point.

  1. 1

    Add your kids and a few chores

    Make-the-bed, practice-piano, help-with-dinner — whatever fits your family. Set a coin value for each.

  2. 2

    Mark chores done with one tap

    When your child finishes a chore in real life, you tap once. Their coin total goes up on the family chart.

  3. 3

    Kids choose a savings goal

    A toy, a trip, a treat. You set the coin cost. They see a goal bar fill up as they earn.

  4. 4

    Give the real-world reward

    When the goal hits 100%, you hand over the reward. My Coin never moves money — that part stays with you.
