GoHenry is the money app giving 6-18-year olds a head start in life as they learn to earn, save, spend and invest - all with parental oversight. Having pioneered a new category in financial education when it launched in 2012, over 2.2 million kids have now learnt money skills with GoHenry. With the ultimate goal to make every kid smart with money, GoHenry believes the best way to learn is to get hands-on experience with money. Its parent and child apps help kids to Learn (via in-app, bite-sized money lessons, Money Missions); Earn (via regular chores, one-off tasks and giftlinks); Spend (responsibly via its prepaid debit card and real-time notifications); Save (via savings goals and interest on savings); Give (via regular micro-donations to the NSPCC); and Invest (via GoHenry’s Junior ISA). As a mission-led business, GoHenry is leading the push for financial education to be made compulsory in all schools across the UK from primary age.
