Why we're doing this (and why you should care)

Because the future belongs to the bold.

Your kid already thinks differently. They see a problem to be solved, where adults see "that's just how things are." They dream up solutions while we're happy complaining. Entrepreneurship isn't just about making money (though that's a pretty cool side effect). It's about raising kids who solve problems, think creatively, and aren't afraid to fail spectacularly before they succeed brilliantly.

Plus, money smarts start early. When kids understand how businesses work, they naturally get better at managing money, making smart choices, and building wealth. It's financial literacy disguised as fun, the best kind of learning trap. We're not just creating mini moguls; we're raising the problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders New Zealand needs. 

What Is SquareOne?

SquareOne is New Zealand's go-to platform for teaching kids financial capability, without the boring stuff that makes their eyes glaze over. We’re your child’s first bank account and card, managed by you! 

  • Automate pocket money, pay for jobs, and instantly transfer 24/7.
  • They pay in-store or online with your oversight. You set the boundaries and get instant notifications. 
  • They can set their own savings goals and work towards them. 
  • We’re giving you the tools to start their money education journey at home. 

Our mission? Raise a generation of financially savvy kids who won't need to Google "what's a budget?" when they're 25.

Ready to give your kid the ultimate head start? That's what we're here for.
