Get - Build money skills from an earlier age

FAQ

Why is financial literacy important?

It isn’t easy learning how to be good at money. Schools don’t teach you and families don’t always talk about finances.

Consumers lacking financial literacy spend more on transaction fees, run up bigger debts, save less money and incur higher interest rates on loans (Lusardi and Tufano, 2015; Lusardi and de Bassa Scheresberg, 2013).

Meanwhile, benefits of financial literacy are manifold. People with strong financial skills do a better job planning and saving for retirement.

What gets us out of bed every morning

Get's mission is to teach young people financial literacy & responsibility from an earlier age by helping them practice money tools & learn about concepts under a safe & convenient environment.

We’re also firm believers that doing is the best way of learning. The upshot is that our product gives them a safe space to learn and occasionally, make mistakes: no debt, no overdrawn accounts, and with the option for parents to jump in and help out if needed.

Once they on their own, they'll be much better off & educated with their money.

Ultimately, we want every person to graduate from Get with confidence, independence and money sense. We want them to be fully prepared for the digital economy and the rise of a cashless society. And we want them to boldly face adulthood’s later financial pressures, fearlessly navigating some of life’s trickiest waters: their money.

Benefits?

The Get app & card were purpose-built. Teens & students get real-life lessons in earning, spending, saving, giving. Parents (if they want to) get the tools they need to manage their child's’ money.

How safe it it?

Get blocks ‘unsafe’ '18+' spending categories, sends real-time transaction notifications and provides unique spending controls - such as budgets & summaries.
‍
We also provide additional layers of protection in the form of face or fingerprint recognition and the ability to freeze & unfreeze your card directly in the app instantly.

Since it's a prepaid card, not a credit card you'll never be able to spend what you don't have.

Is this a prepaid or credit card?

The NIUM card is a prepaid card, not a credit card. Parents or students load money onto the card. And because it’s a prepaid card, customers can never spend what isn’t there. That’s a pretty valuable life lesson.
