It starts with your family.
And one small habit.

Adult money habits are largely formed by around the age of seven, long before a child holds a bank card.

From the Sprout app

Parent guidance

Your family sets the rules.

You choose the responsibilities and which jobs are paid. Sprout helps your family keep track and learn together. You handle the actual money outside the app.

How money is handled

Sprout records money activity. Parents manage the actual money outside the app. Sprout cannot hold or transfer funds.

The amounts displayed are records, not funds held by Sprout. Screens shown use example data.

Build a regular habit

Room to grow

Habits that grow
with them.

The right kind of independence, at the right age.

Big lessons. Small beginnings.

  • Give, save, spend

    Give their money a purpose with three simple jars.

  • Helping comes first

    Family jobs earn helping points. Paid jobs earn money.

  • Something to work towards

    Choose a goal and watch their progress grow.

Their first goal. A growing sense of responsibility.

Sprout product example: Give, Save and Spend jars and a football saving goal

More independence. More intention.

  • A plan for their money

    Set a budget for airtime, outings and other everyday spending.

  • Choices they can see

    Record spending and compare it with the plan.

  • Learning for the real world

    Explore money basics, how investing works, and how to recognise scams. Investing is a reading topic in Sprout, not something the app does.

A plan today. More confidence tomorrow.

Sprout product example: a monthly plan with money received, planned spending and what has been spent so far

Your money stays with you

Real money. Recorded in Sprout.

Money is held and spent outside the app. Sprout helps your family record it, plan for it and talk about it. Sprout doesn’t hold or transfer funds.

Good questions

A little clarity before you start.

Getting to know Sprout.

Is the pilot really free?

Yes. Sprout’s current self-run pilot is free for families. The pilot is a chance to try Sprout and help shape the experience.

Does Sprout hold my child’s money?

No. Sprout records money activity that happens outside the app. It cannot hold or transfer money. You keep using the cash or accounts your family already uses.

What ages is Sprout for?

Sprout is designed for ages 5–17. Younger children start with jars, jobs and goals. Teens have tools for budgeting, recording spending and learning about money. Parents and guardians stay involved.

Does every job need a payment?

No. Sprout keeps everyday family responsibilities separate from paid jobs. Family jobs earn helping points, while paid jobs earn money — so pitching in at home has value beyond what it pays.
