I love how it has an app which makes it easier for me to get money to my daughter who.i haven't seen in awhile and how it has a savings account attached to it to help promote saving so she learns the value of doing so.

The best app to teach financial knowledge to your children.

Acorns Early is a great tool to help you teach your child financial knowledge. By rewarding each task with a payment as low or high as you want, it makes them understand the value of money. Becoming more independent in the process.

Acorns early worked great until it didn't, The nightmare began with not been able to make online purchase with the debit card. At the moment i can't withdrawal my money back to my bank account, I have made no profit with this company, Through luck i discovered spacebank which it's in a class of it's own better off for long term . My aim was to secure a better future for my kids but acorns have made it a highly cumbersome task

Great!

This is been a great application to help my grandkids learn to set a budget and manage their money. They’ve also really enjoyed having some independence being able to make decisions of what they buy and paying for it themselves.

Teaching my child the value in hard work and good work ethic. Also the value of a dollar and how to spend wisely has been taught him through the years of membership in GoHenry. No banks would allow him to have a debit card at his age when we started his GoHenry account and he has grown into a responsible young man because of the responsibility of managing his own banking.

The apps a great idea but the fees that are charged to the parent are insane

I have had this app for my kids for a few years they love the freedom of having their chores and then seeing money go into their accounts weekly like a job. Plus how to use a debit card.😃

This is a great app because I can monitor what when and where my son is able to spend his money on. He's learning and he loves the education that's available to him so that he can earn a little bit more. It teaches him responsibility and teaches him about investing for his future and, of course, saving. He really enjoys the lessons.

GoHenry is a good way to educate money management …

GoHenry is helping me daughter learn to value of money and to save for the things she rally wants. She is becoming very frugal and deciding if what she wants is worth the price.
GoHenery also gives parents a lot of control of how much they can spend and where they can spend, meaning parents have to give permission for the child to shop on the internet.

My nephew is in love with GOHenry!

My nephew is growing his piggy bank and spending as he pleases, even though there was one hiccup when he tried to buy something and there wasn’t quite enough loaded onto his debit (only a few cents off, he was on a field trip and forgot that he had cash too, obviously not the app’s fault)!

The app alerted me about the “hiccup� and I adjusted his monthly payment accordingly. It’s been extremely exciting and useful. Thank you so much!

the glitches sealed the deal

I like the service the app provides but I’m giving a low rating because there’s way too many glitches, I can’t even verify my email . I also can’t seem to contact anyone about receiving my child’s custom cards either. They were tracked to arrive 6/11/24 never showed and there’s no tracking information, where it previously said “will be with you by end of day� it now says nothing but activate card

HI, I am sorry to hear that the custom card has not arrived. Please can I ask you to contact us on (877)372-6466 or email us at help@gohenrycard.com. We can then look into this for you straight away. Thank you! Debbie

Because this is the best thing they ever came out with for kids my son loves this because he gets his own money when I get it and I put it in here so that way he has money to get what he wants

DO not use go Henry

DO not use go Henry, when you have a problem they don't help and they steal your kids money. My sn saved all his money, we had zero issue until he wanted his money from go Henry, it's been a month and I can't get more than , we will call you back within 24 hours, that never comes. They won't give you a supervisor and I don't know what to do next.

Hi Nickol

Thank you for leaving a 1* Review on Trust Pilot, Without these we cannot assist our members in resolving the issues and making GoHenry a better service for our members.

I am disheartened to hear that you are having issues with your account and the refund for the account and to speak with a Supervisor.

I have managed to locate your account using the details provided and I can see that you have been in contact already with one of our Supervisor team who is currently assisting with your query.

He has sent you a follow-up email with some additional information to your registered email address, Please may I ask that you review the email and as the case is now with the Supervisors, if you could reply to the email this will come directly to us.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you with any questions and resolving the issue for you.

Thanks

Catherine - GoHenry Supervisor

I am glad the app is available for my kids on this ages since now all will be more technology on which my kids use cellphones but managed with parental control. But this aloud us parents to control and give allowance when they do good. I love the idea thank you so much.
