pocket Change 2.0: Empowering Tomorrow's Mavericks
Ushering in the future of budget management for a generation of under-10s? That's the challenge posed by Pocket Change, an innovative neobank especially designed with teenagers in mind. By regularly receiving pocket money transfers, parents can enable their kids to own a payment card and access an app that educates young minds about spending, saving, and balancing their finances. Co-founder Caroline Ménager shared their approach, stating, "They will learn about where they spend the most, understand the importance of balancing necessities and pleasures, and grasp how to save—even automatically." Parents can set an educational interest rate for their kids' savings, encouraging them to build financial foundations for the future.

Amélie Riga, an expert within the structure, stressed, "Training financial experts, including in managing their own heritage, is crucial for a company's longevity. Also, understanding the crucial language needed to establish banking connections is necessary." Since starting their mission, over 700 women have been schooled in the art of entrepreneurship and have gone on to establish over 200 successful companies in Guyana.
