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.

  1. See What They See (and More)

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.

  1. Set Allowance, Automate Habits

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.

  1. Approve or Decline in Real Time

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.

  1. Help Them Set Goals (and Reach Them)

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.

  1. Open the Conversation

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.
