“FamilyMint has been a tool our family has used to teach our children what we had always wanted to teach them about tithing and managing their money. We had been unsuccessful at being consistent with all other methods we had tried. But FamilyMint makes automatic deposits and has an automatic savings plan to help us stay consistent.”

“First off, we really love FamilyMint. We really needed something like this. And when I got the message from our credit union I jumped on it. The kids (8, 11, 13, 15) all have accounts at the credit union, but they have no access and no visibility, so it's as good as nonexistent to them. FamilyMint gives them visibility. I was already matching deposits, this makes it automatic and visible.”

“FamilyMint is a great tool that gets your kids away from silly piggy banks and stashes of money. Our kids manage it themselves and see how savings - and spending- effect their goals. FamilyMint takes financial literacy to the next level!”

“It's a great way to keep track of allowances and eliminates the problems of not having the cash on hand each week and of allowance given "mysteriously disappearing!" It is also neat for kids to be able to set goals for things that they want. And makes it easy to say no to small purchases in the store by reminding them they can save for it!”
Lara M.
“Easy to use, forget-proof system of distributing allowance. Helps teach money management and planned spending with goal specific savings plans. Encourages generous giving while thinking ahead for long term savings. Easy for kids to review past purchases and see a tangible outline of how they might change spending habits. We love it!!!!”

“Since we always seem to forget giving the allowance to our boys we had to find another solution... FamilyMint is so cool! It let's the kids set up Goals and save toward them and also enables us as parents to set up a savings plan so the kids do not spend ALL the money! A great tool!”
Dagmar B.
“The best tool is the one you use. I loved the Larry Burkett resources, but they sit on my shelf...dusty. FamilyMint "forces" conversations about money and proper handling of it EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
There is a great on line tool out there that gets your kids away from the silly piggy banks and stashes of money in dress up purses! The kids manage it themselves and can start to see how savings - and spending- effect their goals!There is a great on line tool out there that gets your kids away from the silly piggy banks and stashes of money in dress up purses!

“FamilyMint is a great way for the kids to learn the value of a dollar. Instead of having to fight with my kids about getting something, I ask if they have the money in their account.”
Dorothy H.
“You won't have to worry about remembering to give the kids their allowance, PLUS you keep track of how they spend their money so you can use it as a teaching tool. Finally, it completely eliminates the "Mama & Papa are an endless source of money." Either the money they want to spend is in FamilyMint or not. If they don't have it, they must save.”
Laura S.
“This is a very family friendly, no hassle way of keeping up with our children's money. The kids have a deep interest in keeping up with where there money will be spent and how much more they can "earn." There are no more loose bills belonging to "who knows who" lying around because they immediately want to deposit their money into their accounts.”
