What advantages does KidsSave have over a regular a piggy bank or bank savings account?

This is a great question because we're all so used to having kids save money in piggy banks or regular savings accounts.  And these are great ways to save money.  But KidsSave offers a lot more than just making occasional deposits into a piggy bank or savings account.   KidsSave is an organized money management system.  With KidsSave kids can:

  • have their allowance automatically deposited into their Account increasing the likelihood that the money will not be spent

  • record their transactions allowing them to see where their money comes from and where it goes

  • receive matching funds and/or interest which are automatically deposited into their Account

  • experiment with different savings scenarios to see what would happen to their savings over time

  • set and monitor personal financial goals

  • learn the value of coins and bills and learn to add and subtract with them

But, that said, KidsSave still allows the flexibility to maintain your child's piggy bank or regular savings account along with a KidsSave Account.  Watching real money accumulate in a piggy bank and sorting and counting it are valuable hands-on experiences kids should have.   In the section How do I pay out my child when they need to make a withdrawal? under the third bullet we offer a way to maintain both your child's piggy bank and a KidsSave Account.  And to tie in a regular savings account with KidsSave, see the section My child already has a savings account at a bank.  How do I tie that in with KidsSave?
