ReceiptKid — Family Money Made Simple
App Store Rating: 4+
What is ReceiptKid?
A parent-managed family tool for teaching children about money.
ReceiptKid is not a financial service, a bank, or an independent money app for children. It is a household tracking tool that helps parents and children manage shared expenses together — with the parent always in control. Balances shown in the app are records of what is owed between family members, not real money held in an account.
Who Is This App For?
ReceiptKid is designed for children aged 8 and above, used together with a parent or guardian. The typical family using ReceiptKid includes:
- A parent or guardian who holds the primary account and approves all activity
- One or more children aged 8–17 who submit expense requests for parental approval
Parents are the primary account holders. Children cannot create accounts independently. Every child account is created and managed by a parent or guardian. This design choice significantly reduces regulatory risk and ensures the app is always used within a supervised family context.
The app is also used by young adults (18–21), students, and other household arrangements where one person manages shared expenses on behalf of a group.
What Children Can and Cannot Do
✅ Children CAN
- Snap a photo of a receipt and submit it for parental approval
- View their own expense history and balance
- See when a parent has approved or declined a request
- Receive push notifications about their own requests
❌ Children CANNOT
- Create an account independently
- Make purchases or access payment information
- Add or remove other family members
- Contact strangers or anyone outside their family group
- Share data publicly or create a public profile
- Change their own account email address
- Access external links without leaving the app
Safety Design Choices
ReceiptKid has been built from the ground up with child safety as a core design principle, not an afterthought. The following design choices reflect this:
- No social networking: There is no feed, no comments, no likes, and no public content of any kind.
- No public profiles: Child users have no public-facing profile. Their name and data are visible only to members of their own family group.
- No messaging with strangers: There is no in-app chat or messaging. Communication happens only through the structured request/approval flow between family members.
- No advertising: The app contains no third-party advertising of any kind. Child users are never shown ads.
- No behavioural tracking of children: We do not build profiles of child users or use their data for any purpose other than operating the family group.
- No external links accessible to children: The app does not expose children to external websites or content outside the controlled app environment.
- Camera access is user-initiated only: The app requests camera access only when the child actively chooses to photograph a receipt. It is never accessed in the background.

Children's Privacy
Eden Ecommerce Ltd does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. The app is designed to be used by children with a parent or guardian who holds the primary account. The parent account holder is responsible for adding child users and supervising their activity.
The app does not display third-party advertising, does not include social networking features, and does not share child user data with advertisers or data brokers. For full details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Parental Controls
All financial requests made by a child user require explicit approval from the linked parent or guardian account before any action is taken. Parents can review, approve, or decline every request. There is no mechanism for a child to bypass parental oversight within the app.
Parents can also manage which family members are linked to their account, view all activity within the family group, and remove child accounts at any time from the account settings.
