GoHenry

GoHenry (operating at gohenry.com) is a leading youth banking, prepaid debit card, and financial education platform engineered to teach children and teenagers (ages 6-18) real-world money management skills. Founded in 2012 by Louise Hill and Dean Brauer in the UK, GoHenry pioneered the digital pocket-money category by pairing a child-friendly debit card with an interactive, gamified learning app. Moving beyond traditional static savings accounts, GoHenry provides dual-interface mobile software that gives parents real-time visibility and control while granting kids financial autonomy. Under the hood, its technology stack manages automated allowance transfers, customizable spending limits, task-based chore payouts, instant card blocking, and interactive "Money Missions"—bite-sized, curriculum-aligned financial literacy modules. Following rapid international growth and its acquisition of French youth fintech PixPay, GoHenry was acquired by digital investment app Acorns in 2023 to form a global multi-generational financial platform. What sets GoHenry apart is its field-tested combination of parental guardrails and hands-on financial education, helping millions of young people build healthy saving, spending, and budgeting habits early in life.
