Gohenry By Acorns Teams Up With Google Wallet For New Fitbit Ace LTE Integration

"GoHenry empowers kids growing up in a digital world to learn about and use money in a safe environment," said Acorn's CEO, Noah Kerner. "Our collaboration with Google Wallet brings this to life on a wearable payment device, embodying our mission to make every kid smart with money and providing parents with more tools to nurture healthy habits in their kids."

With
GoHenry, parents can set up automated allowance, make instant transfers, select spending limits, and set chores for kids to earn through the app. Kids and teens can set savings goals, keep an eye on their budgets in real-time, and give spare change to charity while learning core money skills through Money Missions-in-app, expert-led, bite-sized lessons, interactive quizzes, and videos.

"We're excited to collaborate with GoHenry to bring tap to pay capabilities to the Fitbit Ace LTE, giving parents a valuable tool to instill responsible spending habits and help kids gain confidence while they learn important money skills," said Ben Greenwood, Fitbit Ace LTE Product Lead.

As an incentive, parents who sign their child up for GoHenry beginning August 7 will receive $20 toward their child's allowance for free, along with one free month of a GoHenry subscription.

This collaboration comes on the heels of Acorns' acquisition of
GoHenry-now called GoHenry by Acorns, in the U.S.---in 2023.
