This prepaid card can be used by children and teenagers to pay independently, including online transactions within the country.
According to the company, it will be relying on certified educators and experts for the educational content of the app. Most importantly, the parents can manage the card via the app with money transfers, setting limits of the card and also rewarding their child on completion of their tasks. Since Treezor is a Principal Member of Mastercard, users can use the card wherever Mastercard is accepted.
