Raising financially capable kids doesn’t start with lectures, it starts with experience. Boucoup gives the youth real tools, real money, and real responsibility. But their parents never out of the loop. Here’s how the app works for you as a parent.
Stay connected without micromanaging. With your parent account, you can view balances, transactions, savings goals, and more. It’s like having a front-row seat to your child’s financial learning, with just the right level of involvement.
Easily automate allowances on a schedule that fits your family’s rhythm—weekly, monthly, or based on chores completed. You can even set up one-time rewards for achievements. This automation teaches consistency, while also reinforcing the idea that money is earned, not just given.
Want to be involved in key decisions? With instant notifications, you can approve or decline your teen money requests on the spot. Whether it’s a new video game or a big-ticket purchase, you stay in control while still empowering your child to make informed choices.
Guide your child in creating short- and long-term saving goals. Want to help them save for a birthday gift, a new bike, or even their first laptop? You can offer matching contributions, just like a 401(k), to encourage saving and delayed gratification.
The app provides built-in video shorts that help you start important money conversations. Use the app as a launchpad for teaching real-world lessons without it feeling like a lecture.
Financial confidence is one of the most powerful life skills you can give your child. This app turns abstract money concepts into daily habits, and gives you the tools to support and guide them every step of the way. You're not just giving your child a banking app. You're giving them a head start on a lifetime of smart money decisions.
