Your to-do list is long enough. Automate your child’s allowance and adjust it depending on whether they stepped it up or slacked off. By regularly connecting allowance and chores, kids learn the value of money and hard work.

Open your app and select your child’s account.

Step 2

Tap “Add Allowance” from the Quick Actions Menu.

If your teen has a job, they can set up direct deposit and get paid up to 2 days early¹. It’s simple, free, and all deposits made with Step are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 by our bank partner, Evolve Bank & Trust, Member FDIC.

Tip: You can set up direct deposit, too. This way, you can send your child money in a pinch without worrying about funding your account.

“Nothing but good things to say...”
“I have nothing but good things to say about this app. I am using this for my two teenage kids. They work hard for their allowance and this card is a good way for them to get the money and spend it the way they want to.”

“Takes just a minute to transfer.”

Genevieve
“I can give weekly allowance...”
“I’m so happy with this app. My 4 daughters are learning to manage the money they earn. I can easily give weekly allowance and everything is safer for children. I highly recommend it.”

“Step makes it easy to get money to my girls...”
“Step makes it easy to get money to my girls. I like them being able to have this card instead of carrying cash. Every other card I looked at first came with a lot of conditions and fees. This one doesn’t have any of that. We’re all very happy!”
Kim
“I highly recommend it!”
“Step was just the app we needed to give my teen a little independence and experience with shopping responsibly with a card. We load her card with her allowance once per week and she decides what to save and what to spend. She can use her physical card or just her phone with apple pay (her preference). I highly recommend it!”
