One platform for money learning, parent oversight, and practical habits.
PocketPal brings money learning, parent oversight, savings goals, chores, PalPoints rewards, and age-adaptive education into one UAE-focused platform.
Everything a growing family needs.
One platform that grows with your child, from first savings goals through to real-world money confidence.
Parent-guided money learning
Give parents full visibility and control over how their children save, spend, and build money habits — with oversight tools designed around how families actually work.
Structured financial education
An OECD-aligned curriculum covering knowledge, attitude, and behaviour. Age-appropriate lessons teach children how money works — from saving to budgeting to responsible spending.
Savings goals and chores
Children set personal savings goals and complete chores to earn allowance, connecting effort to reward in a practical, structured way.
PalPoints rewards
Children earn PalPoints for completing lessons, reaching savings milestones, and building positive money habits. Progress feels earned.
Age-adaptive experience
Content and features adjust as children grow — from simple savings concepts at age 7 to budgeting and financial awareness at age 18.
Partner-enabled prepaid cards
Partner-enabled prepaid cards designed to support supervised, practical money learning. Customisable card designs delivered through regulated infrastructure partners where required.
