The Karri Card

Children will learn about money.
What they learn is up to you.

Many parents think they can have the “money talk” with their children when they’re old enough to understand it...which won’t be for years, right? Well, as it turns out, children as young as three years old are capable of grasping the concept of money, and a study confirmed that the number one influence on a child’s financial behaviour is mom and dad.

It’s clear is the best time to start teaching your children smart money habits is now. That’s why we built the Karri Card—to equip the next generation with smart money habits when it matters most.

With the Karri Card, you can finally give your child the financial independence they crave while setting boundaries through smart controls.

Make financial decisions together

Families are money teams. With the Karri app, both parents can track spending, top-up their child's card and make financial decisions together.

Let them learn about limits

Set daily spending limits to teach your child that once the money is gone; it’s really gone.

Keep them safe and stay stress-free

The card is blocked from liquor retailers, gambling facilities and more*, empowering your child to gain independence safely and securely.

Why parents love us

Parent's super tool
So happy to be able to pay for all extras - civvies, outings, textbooks, special projects, teachers gifts, stationery with Karri. It keeps a record for me, so every time school sends me a reminder, I don't have to wonder – did I pay for that child in that school?😅 Monthly budget made so much easier.

I am terrible when it comes to technology so my daughter's school introduced it first and it was so easy and convenient to use...Help was just an email away. I love Karri😃

I kept putting off this Karri app as I have so many apps and can't keep track sometimes and I thought it would be easier to keep giving my daughter cash to pay for these school items or just do an EFT! I was so wrong! Updated the app this morning, reset my password and paid for a vetkoek drive-through in less than 5 minutes! Thank you Karri.
