About Kachinga
What is Kachinga?

Kachinga is a financial literacy platform that uses an intuitive app and a debit card with parental controls to help parents teach their kids to be smart with money.

Why was Kachinga started?

As parents of younger kids, we were experiencing first-hand the challenges of how to teach kids about money. As we explored the topic, we learned the depth of the financial literacy crisis facing the U.S. and beyond. In 2018, we embarked on our mission to bring financial literacy to the next generation by providing parents the tools and guidance to help teach kids to be smart with money.

How does Kachinga teach financial literacy?

Kids, and adults, learn best through experience. Our financial education framework is based on experiential learning where kids learn about money by using money. Our team of financial literacy experts have created an environment that provides parents the tools and guidance to teach kids the value of money and how to build critical life-long financial habits. Kids learn how to make smart choices with money as they learn and use concepts like budgets, savings goals, prioritization, spend management and compound interest.

What is the right age for my kids to use Kachinga?

Kachinga was designed by parents to supports kids of all ages. We believe kids should begin learning about money as early as possible. Each family is different, but the one thing we all need to do is to start having conversations with our kids about money. So, whether you're looking for convenience, safety, or a better way to teach your kids to be smart with money, Kachinga can help you achieve your goals.
