Abstract
Even though we live in a materialistic world, financial education is not part of our everyday life. Knowledge not acquired during childhood is harder to be gained later on. This bachelor’s thesis describes cross-platform money collecting and planning mobile application development for kids, which can be integrated with real bank systems in the future. There are money (allowance) planning applications in the market, but they have disadvantages which
may be blocking their wider spread. The author has pinpointed core issues within banking applications, which prohibit their effective use by children. A child-friendly piggy bank application prototype has been developed to deal with those issues. Children can define their goals (dreams) and plan money to achieve those. In addition to that, the author brings out future work that can be done to deploy the application to production for end-users. Prototype
application’s technical solution is based on state of the art technologies, which were chosen from many to match author’s current skill base without compromising quality.
