The 'Mellow Watch' smartwatch is a wearable solution for children aged five and up to help them build good money habits, while also allowing for contactless payments.
The wearable works by offering a chore-based allowance system where parents will reward them for things they do around the house or in their lifestyle. The device will encourage them to participate in goal-based savings, while also connecting to a virtual debit Visa or MasterCard to accommodate contactless payments at the checkout.
The 'Mellow Watch' smartwatch links to the Parent app where parents can keep an eye on the child's finances and even their activity levels. This is thanks to real-time activity tracking that captures data about distance traveled, workouts and more. The 4G LTE-connected smartwatch also supports GPS tracking, VoIP audio calls and more.
