Pigzbe is a (very) smart device that teaches kids 6+ the value of money in a digital world. It's one of the first ever family products built using the blockchain.

Why financial education

Today’s kids live in a fast changing financial world. Digital money, contactless payments, in-app purchases and cryptocurrency are all things they need help to understand.

It's hard to get to grips with money if you can’t touch the notes or feel the coins!

We wanted to find a way to make digital money physical, so children can touch, play and experiment with it. The same way we did with the coins in our piggy-banks.

What is Pigzbe

Pigzbe teaches kids about money in a language they understand. It is made up of four connected elements:

  1. Pigzbe Device: Pigzbe is a friendly and interactive financial assistant that’s packed with personality. Take Pigzbe on adventures, play games and learn together as you grow up.
  2. Pigzbe App: The Pigzbe App connects the whole family to a child’s financial education. Parents can send allowances, set tasks & reward milestones. Kids learn through play.
  3. Wollo, a family-friendly cryptocurrency: Using Wollo kids learn how to save, budget and manage digital money. Every new Pigzbe comes with 200 Wollo inside, enough to start having fun right away!
  4. Family Payment Card: Spend Wollo easily anywhere that takes Visa using our Family Payment Card. Or spend Wollo using a Wirex Visa card (both cards available in selected locations, additional fees apply).
