Instead of shopping for bargains this Black Friday, Tanya Van Court wants you to use her Goalsetter.co app to open a savings accounts for a child and introduce the young saver to financial literacy through game-based quizzes, memes and GIFs.
The original idea for Goalsetter stemmed from a conversation Van Court had with her 15-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, about money when she was turning 9. So as her daughter's birthday approached, she made her an offer. At the time, Van Court was working at Nickelodeon, where she led its digital preschool and parenting businesses.
"I came from Nickelodeon, where I ran Noggin.com and NickJr.com," Van Court said."I came with domain expertise and experience in how you engage moms and kids and simultaneously educate them." When Kemba Dunham heard that Van Court had developed an app to help kids become more fiscally responsible, she signed up her two children. She said that her family never taught her about money and that in college she got a credit card and she racked up so much debt that it took her a decade to recover.
Her two teens have had the app for a couple of years, and her son has had the debit card for a few months. She likes that her son has to take quizzes to use his Cashola debit card.Her son, Nile Mpela, 14, said he loves the app and his Cashola debit card. But her favorite feature is the literacy quizzes, which she said she could not find on any other fintech apps for kids that she researched.
