“We are loving FamilyMint! My children are saving more money now. I think they like the idea of the account, and don't spend it as easily as when it is in their hands. Excellent concept!”

“FamilyMint is an excellent way to train children in the art of financial planning. It’s also a good way to get Mommy to think about balancing her own checkbook once in a while too. FamilyMint has a very nice interface and is relatively easy to use. I had a few minor mysteries, but the customer support at FamilyMint was very helpful and quick to answer my questions.”
Cheryl
“This idea intrigued me, especially since my two boys tend to lose their money frequently or spend it frivolously. To be honest, I was not sure they would be interested in an online banking system since they usually enjoy physically having the money. I could not have been more wrong!”
Laura
“In this age, financial responsibility is such an undertaught skill, for the most part. This is one tool to help those of us trying to buck that trend. I can see how FamilyMint can help parents instill the attributes of financial discipline and analysis from an early age through experience and practice.”
Renee
“The true test of any savings program is a visit to the Walmart toy section with my 10 year old. Believe it or not, the last 2 times we looked in the toy section at Walmart, my “spender” informed me that he was not going to buy anything because he knew that would take his savings down too much and he was saving for a big ticket item! I think the difference is that he sees his goal every day when he logs in to Family Mint. He has never shown such restraint. We are very happy with the way Family Mint is helping us save time and money.”
Merit
“I think that this is a great concept to help your kids manage their money! It is all in one place, and you as the parent can keep track of what they are saving and what they are spending their money on. I found the system easy to use. There is really no learning curve as everything is pretty self-explanatory.”
Debbie
“I really like this product! It's simple to use, teaches children goal setting and to be good stewards of their money. These are some of the important life skills that need to be instilled early on to avoid financial hardships later in life.”
Joesette
“My daughter was thrilled by the entire concept. She eagerly set up several goals and started planning ways to earn more money to put toward her goals. I think this is a great idea that will be very useful in our home for teaching money management.”

“We have enjoyed using FamilyMint in our homeschool curriculum for the last couple of years. It has been very beneficial to our children. They are very financially savvy compared to their peers, all mainly due to FamilyMint.”
