Aussie pocket-money startup Spriggy has bagged $35 million in Series B funding, as it looks to build on the momentum built during the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift away from cash.
SmartCompany caught up with co-founders Mario Hasankos and Alex Badran to talk about the future of finance, the roadmap ahead, and why they don’t want Spriggy to exist in 30 years’ time.
What is Spriggy?
Founded in 2015 by Hasankos and Badran, Spriggy is a digital pocket-money app, allowing parents to load cash onto prepaid cards for kids.
The app also helps kids monitor and manage their own spending, encouraging healthy money management skills.
