Girmanators

Their own bank. Your rates, your rules.

Every child gets their own spending, savings, Lock Box, Time Bank and GPoints accounts. Every deposit says where it came from, and the money never leaves your family.

14-day free trial. No credit card to start. One subscription covers every kid.

The ledger

Every deposit has a reason.

Each entry says where it came from: the chore that paid it, the shop item it bought, the money a brother or sister sent. A balance isn't a number that went up. It's a record of what they did.

You're the bank. We keep the ledger and run the interest, and the real money stays with you until you pay it out. No account in your child's name, no card, no fees.

Interest

Interest at the rate you set.

You pick the rate for savings and for each kind of Lock Box, quoted by the day, the week or the month. It posts every morning on the balance they already have, so they watch it compound.

Set it high enough to notice. The first time savings grows while they sleep is the lesson.

Lock Boxes

A reward for leaving money alone.

A Lock Box takes one deposit for a term you set, at its own rate. They can break it early, and the penalty you set comes out of the interest it earned, never the deposit.

When the term ends it starts a new one, or stops earning and waits for them to collect it, whichever you chose.

Savings goals

Saving for something is the lesson.

A goal sits on their savings and counts only what they've put away since they set it. When it fills, it marks itself done and you both hear about it.

You can give a goal a boost, and mark it bought when you hand the thing over.

GPoints & the Time Bank

Two more currencies, and you set both.

GPoints are a starter currency for younger kids. You choose what a point is worth (100 to the dollar unless you change it) and price shop items in points, so raising a price teaches inflation better than a lecture.

The Time Bank holds screen time in minutes. A chore can pay in minutes instead of dollars, and the shop can trade points or cash for more.

Your family's economy, open in two minutes.

Start free, add your kids, post the first chore. The first deposit does the convincing.
