Looking for a fun and rewarding way to help your child learn about managing their money? Kickstart the school year with healthy spending habits with the POSB Smart Buddy Programme. You can receive the free POSB Smart Buddy Watch and/or Card, which your child can use to purchase their favourite after-school treat (or yet another eraser from the school bookshop). It’s linked to a handy app, so you can track your child’s cashless spending without pestering them with questions. Plus, watch their savings grow with POSB’s dollar-for-dollar matching reward for new users!

Dollar-for-dollar matching to grow your child’s savings

So, how does this work? The POSB Smart Buddy Watch or Card is linked to your debit account, so you can easily top up your child’s weekly allowance for daily meals or bookshop purchases. When recess rolls around, your child can make a beeline for their favourite food stall and seamlessly pay for their meal with a tap of their POSB Smart Buddy Watch or Card!

Spending is easy, but saving takes practice! To reward your child for saving money, POSB will match every dollar saved (up to $10 per month from now until 31 January 2026 for new users) to boost your child’s savings from 1 December 2025 to 31 January 2026. For example, if your child saves $4.50, POSB will match $5. In conjunction with this existing Smiley Stamps savings programme, your child will get a total of $11 if they save $10 a month.

Convenient parent-friendly app to track spending

To give you one less thing to worry about, the POSB Smart Buddy Watch and Card are linked to an easy-to-use, parent-friendly app so you can easily track your child’s spending. You will receive a push notification after every transaction, ensuring you’re always in the loop. To make your life easier, you can set up automatic transfers of your child’s Smart Buddy savings to their bank account (or yours).
