What is GravyStack? | Accelerating Financial Independence in a Fun Way

Watch

Game. Learn. Earn.

Parents are super busy. Finding enough time to teach your kids about how money works might not make it to the top of your list as often as you'd like. That’s where we can help. Unlike other banking apps on the market for kids, GravyStack does more than teach kids how to spend money. It empowers kids to become the hero of their own financial story.

  • Autonomous learning: Help your kids learn essential life skills through independent play.
  • Real banking: Kids gain access to real FDIC-insured checking and savings accounts and a debit card backed by Mastercard.
  • Education that’s fun: Kids learn to make and manage their money through fun-to-play games set in the world of Windfall.
