Mobile Banking for 6-Year-Olds?

Description:

Some say the easiest way to teach children the value of money is to borrow some from them. And really, that’s not far from the truth. But what happens when you take away the tangible part - cash? Personal experience is the best way for young children to learn about money, value and economic principles. In Norway, one of the most digital and cashless societies in the world, one group of banks decided to launch a mobile banking application for kids from 6 to 14 years old. We’ll tell you all about how it went.
