Hero Financials is a creative alternative to traditional banking for kids and teens focused on building financial literacy skills for their future. More than just a card or an allowance app: it’s your kid’s first financial solution, created to evolve with their growing needs.
Hero sets you up with a separate account for you and your child, so you can have peace of mind that they have a secure and reliable way to pay for their daily activities. Get full transparency on how they’re paying for their daily routine, so you can work together to build good financial habits, even if your kid is not by your side.
As a parent, you are the first hero for your kids. Now, it’s the time to create a Hero account and help your kids unleash the power of their own finances!
BUILD REAL-WORLD FINANCIAL HABITS
What better way to learn than by doing? Kids usually learn more by practicing than only with theory. Hero empowers your kid’s independence by giving them the secret tools they need to become financially-smart adults.
SIDEKICK MASTERCARD
Hero is here to empower your kids to pay for expenses on their own. They no longer have to rely on being with you to pay for their daily activities. Hero has partnered with Mastercard, which means your kid can use their SideKick Mastercard virtually anywhere – in-store and online. Complete with secure contactless payment and chip and pin technology, it’s the most modern and efficient way to pay.
EXCLUSIVE BUDGET TOOL
Use the Hero Budget Tool to divide money between our pre-created categories: general, living expenses, eating out, travel, shopping, and fun. Each category was well thought out to help you budget for what is important for your kids. You can control how much is on the card and allocate the funds to each category. As parents, you have the superpower of moving money between categories or adding money to only a specific one. You are in control!
VAULT
Add a Vault to your kid’s account to teach your child how to save for a rainy day, or teach them how to set aside money for something special they want to buy for themselves. Both you and your kids can add money to the Vault but only you hold the key to open the Vault and allow your child to use the funds.
ROUND-UP
The Round-up feature rounds the charge to the nearest dollar and automatically adds the difference between the purchase and the charge to the Vault. Round-up is one of the easiest ways to teach your kids how small amounts can compile to a large balance.
RECURRING ALLOWANCE
In a few easy steps, set up a recurring allowance for your child – one less thing to worry about! Decide how often and how much you would like your kids to receive, adjust the settings and you’re good to go. Yes, it’s that simple!
TRACK SPENDING
See where the money’s going with real-time spending updates on the Hero app. Need to top-up your kid’s card? Simply log in to your Hero app, load your account and transfer money to their SideKick Mastercard. It’s lightning fast just like a hero!
SECURITY FEATURES
It’s important that the money is safe and is accessible by your kid only. In case the card was misplaced or lost, you or your kid can lock it remotely through the app. Found the card? No problem, unlock it right away and it’s ready to spend.
BLOCKLIST
With Blocklist you can prevent their SideKick Card from being used in liquor stores, gambling vendors, distilleries and dating services. Block these types of merchants and have peace of mind that your kids are spending only where they need to.
REAL-TIME NOTIFICATIONS
Hero gives you the option to be informed of your child’s spending habits in real-time. From helicopter to free-range parenting, we got you covered!
ATM WITHDRAWS
Choose if you want your kids to have access to cash with their SideKick Mastercard and change this setting any time via the Hero app. It’s simple as a flick of a switch!
