What is ZAAP?
How does ZAAP work?
- A Parent Wallet: the primary account parent funds are held in to fund transfers to the Child Account, on a regular or adhoc basis.
- Child’s ZAAP Account: which holds the child’s funds. This is the child’s spending account to which their payment devices are linked. They can also transfer money to and from their Savings Wallet.
- ZAAP Payment device: the chosen ZAAP Card and/or wearable ZAAP Band that enables children to access their ZAAP account to make purchases.
- Child’s Savings Wallet: linked to the Child’s ZAAP account, children can set savings goals, transfer money from their ZAAP account to their Saving Wallet and track their progress. Funds are held separately and cannot be spent unless transferred back into the ZAAP account.
- ZAAP App: the home of the Parent Wallet, Child Account and Savings Wallet. The App has two logins, one for Parents and one for the Child. You and your child can view account balances and transaction history. It is the main control portal for parents and children.

This is significantly cheaper than a Debit Card and Bank Account, where the monthly fees can be up to $4.
