[Bill @FamZoo @FamZoo]

Why do families choose FamZoo's prepaid cards?

1. FamZoo puts education first.

FamZoo's youth financial literacy mission comes first. FamZoo invented the first educational prepaid card product. FamZoo pioneered unique features like parent-paid compound interest, child loan tracking, reimbursement requests, family billing, and much more.

FamZoo has more educational features than any other prepaid card product. It is the family FinLit card.

If you want your child to learn money habits that match your values, FamZoo is the right choice.

2. FamZoo is secure by design.

FamZoo never asks for and never stores your private bank account or debit card information for reloading purposes. Instead, you always send funds to your FamZoo card accounts from the security of your private online banking or digital wallet service.

That way, nobody — not a fraudster, not even a clever kid — can ever drain your main bank account using FamZoo. Just. Not. Possible.

Also, any funds held in FamZoo are FDIC insured and secured by MasterCard®’s Zero Liability policy for unauthorized purchases.

3. FamZoo delivers expert customer service, every time.

Whenever you contact FamZoo, you get an expert who knows the product inside and out, understands the challenges of parenting first hand, and is empowered to solve your problem.

No robots. No third-party call center.

We do not outsource, short staff, or undervalue customer service.

4. FamZoo has been trusted by families since 2013.

FamZoo has been delivering cards to families since 2013, longer than any other company in the family prepaid card market.

We are privately held, self funded, and self-sustaining. That means no venture capitalist or stock market is going to force us to prioritize growth over service and education.

We never market to kids or teens — just parents. In fact, we rarely advertise at all. Instead, we rely on recommendations from existing families. Visit our home page to browse over 650 reviews.

Our “growth hack” is treating all families with respect and kindness.

5. FamZoo does not require a bank account or a fancy phone.

No bank account? No problem. FamZoo serves all families, not just families with bank accounts. You can reload FamZoo cards with cash at a participating retailer or via direct deposit from a government agency.

Your youngster doesn’t need a smartphone to use FamZoo. Yes, of course we have mobile apps for iPhone and Android. But, family members can also access FamZoo from any device — desktop, laptop, or mobile — using any modern browser. You can even access FamZoo via text message.

6. FamZoo is affordable for all.

FamZoo's subscription fee is per family. Period. There are no limits on family members or cards. So, the bigger the family, the better the deal.

And families of all sizes benefit from our deeply discounted pay-in-advance plans. Compare and save.

7. FamZoo has your family's back.

Running short of funds when payments are due to other family members? We’ve got your back.

Our unique card IOU system automatically tracks any shortfalls in allowance, parent-paid-interest, or other family payments and repays the IOUs as soon as you’re able to add enough funds.

We keep up with missed payments, so you never let your kids down (and vice-versa).

“Our kids have outgrown Famzoo, have now their own bank accounts (away from prying parents eyes). FamZoo helped them learn about and experience money management. A huge thank you to Bill for developing FamZoo and always responding to questions and concerns promptly. Best wishes to all of you!”

“My son that I got this account for died a couple of months ago. This was such a great tool for him. He had mental emotional problems and this made sense to him. When he passed, he was 26. This was a great way to give him some autonomy. This is a great product. It helped us do much over the years.”

“Kids are all grown and have their own bank accounts and jobs. FamZoo was great. I liked the auto allowance and splits. At least our oldest used that. Each kid having a debit card was empowering for them and still allowed us to monitor their spending.”

“After many years with FamZoo, our kids are all now grown and have their own permanent checking accounts. Thank you for providing a great tool that helped them learn about money.”

“Thank you for a great experience. We have used Famzoo for several years through the raising of two children. This account has been an invaluable tool for easy money sharing and a safe way for the kids to have a card for online purchases.”

“Cancelling because our purpose for the card (adult with dependency issues) is no longer applicable. The support from FamZoo when we had questions was uniquely phenomenal.”

Financial literacy starts early. It was great to join the Healthier Kids Foundation for their Financial Health for Youth Symposium and Open House.

The Foundation does important work removing barriers to health, learning, and life success for Silicon Valley youth — and bringing financial education into that mission is a meaningful extension of that work. Seeing children engage with financial concepts through the Kids Finance Labs was a great reminder that these conversations can start earlier than we think.

Enjoyed meeting the parents and happy to bring there our new lego set for children!

“We like the idea of pre-paid cards that we can load in a primary fund and distribute to youth either weekly or even daily. We have tried a few companies in the past [for our at-risk youth program], but they have limits on number of cards per “family” or Venmo, for example, youth have to have a separate cell phone number to be able to have a Teen Account. Some of our youth are too young to be able to have a cell phone. The [FamZoo] prepaid cards [are] be ideal because we can load them with a specific amount, and we (administration) [can] manage the funds.”

“I love the fact that you all send texts for all transactions. It allows my wife and I to keep a close eye on our kids transactions. You guys have an awesome product and I tell everyone about you all when I can. It comes in handy to get money to the kids when they need it. It was especially handy when our son was overseas and needed money. Thank you again.”

“Firstly can I thank you for being exactly what my family needed as we started a financial journey together here in the USA. Time has (sadly not sadly) come however to move on and ergo our FamZoo will not be renewed this time. I have to say that you’ve been totally perfect in every way as a company as a help desk as a bank.”

“Thank you for the experience, it was a great learning tool for our children when they were younger, but now they all have checking accounts with debit cards and are young adults.”
