Jassby: Debit Card for Teens Reviews

It’s ok, they could do better with the shopping it’s 1 to expensive and 2 there is not a lot other than that pretty good app (if they add more stuff I will change my review)

Édit: Thank you for adding more stuff but one more thing you guys should add baby alive stuff and everything it well priced now!

Once the kids added their debit cards to Apple Pay, they started using them regularly. The biggest advantage is that I can see where they are spending their money and how much they have left on balance. I like the alerts for that reason. I also like that we can transfer money between family members.

I want to love or at least like Jassby. Despite the fact that I’ve connected my bank, I continually receive error and warning signs that tell me I need to choose a funding source. The user interface is just not intuitive, so I can’t do simple things like have it pay my kids, much less tie the money to chores. Grrr. And there’s no support. Meanwhile, I get “Greg from this app” emails about dinner recipes in my inbox. What?

Does what it’s supposed to do very well. After getting through the secure registration process it’s easy to load money and send to kids. Using ApplePay they can spend anywhere. It’s easy and it works!

Jassby is the worst. Don’t waste your time. After being denied creating an account I had to send a copy of my social security card, a copy of a utility bill and my ID. So now someone can steal my identity so that’s great. No reply to any of it. I sent several emails which went ignored and then after I got annoyed they told me they could not create an account. All the middle fingers for you this app!

With help of Jassby I should not remember every week about allowances I set for Kids. All goes automatically. Very convenient.

I haven’t even used this yet because there’s no way to add any credit card, only connect to your debit card, which I don’t want to do. I prefer not to have any apps connected to my bank accounts in any way for obvious reasons.

Enjoying usage of my own debit card under parent’s control 😀

Pretty good app, would recommend

It has taken over an hour to get set up and it still isn’t set up. I have given up on even trying to get the account. I would not recommend this to anybody.

Jassby allows you to sign up with your personal information and your child’s and then disables your accounts for no reason! They are STEALING information. BEWARE!!!

Offered bonus can’t use the card although it funded my grandsons account

They will lock your account and take your money and try to call they won’t answer

Jassby locked me out after I funded $80 from my bank account. Worthless!

wouldn’t recommend Jassby

Doesn’t work

Jassby disabled my account for no reason at all after one purchase they disabled it just wow

I think Jassby is a very good concept in the way that parents set allowances to other members of family a set amount of money. In an ever growing digital world I think it’s good to teach children how to handle cash and how to handle a amount of money on the screen. It’s a lot easier to spend money virtually because you don’t see it physically leave your wallet and that’s where Jassby allows you to teach your kids about having a bank account and financial habits. I feel like using it for the first time was quite a learning experience but once you learn how to use it it can be a great tool. Jassby also has issues where sometimes it just blurs out and you have to reset it.

EDITED W/ UPDATE:
After I made my last review customer service called me and was able to fix the login issue. There must have been an issue that prevented me from getting their email Before that.

I like the idea of Jassby, and it would be great if it actually worked, but my password stopped working, and I was unable to reset my password due to having registered using a social media account and given no other options to fix it. In addition, my daughter’s version of Jassby just stopped working- she gets nothing but an error message. And i have gotten no responses to my multiple messages to support, either.

After I had loaded $50 (split between 2 kids) my son tried to get $35 worth of gift cards. They allowed him the $5 one. Then emailed me they suspected suspicious activity and locked us all out of the account. I did get a response to my own email that they only remove the money from my checking when the kids purchase something but I still have no idea if they still have access to my cc #.

Jassby is definitely in its infancy, the stuff they can “buy” is over priced and there isn’t much to choose from. It’s probably better to just get a kids starter checking account at your bank. It’s a lot easier to use and you can teach them how to hunt for the best deal on stuff!

Update: I received some improved communication which I’m thankful for. Still think Jassby is rough about the edges and support could be improved.

I’ve tried to contact support numerous times and each time a representative greets me and then leaves without offering any help. I just tried again and I am unable to even send a message anymore.

I think Jassby really ties together a lot of the most convenient aspects of other apps. Being able to budget, transfer, and shop all in one place without swapping apps makes life a lot easier. The mall experience is certainly unique in a good way.

Jassby has some great features including recurring allowances (set it once and then I don’t have to think about it again) and age-appropriate products to purchase in-app. I’m excited to see what new features they offer in the future.

Jassby makes facilitating allowance for kids very convenient and has the potential to help them understand how to manage their money better. It’s a great idea combining earning, saving, and spending in one place - I can see it naturally promoting much healthier financial habits!

Best deal of the season! Jassby seems great too and we’ve actually started using it in our family for allowances. The kids love seeing their balances and thinking about what they’re saving for. I’m so glad we heard about this.

Jassby is really useful to transfer money between the family and it’s useful to transfer money to their kids and Jassby helps kids to buy various products of their choice using their merchandises available in Jassby

I downloaded this seeing how it would work. It has been AMAZING for my Family and my kids to understand how money works. Now they’re able to understand what it’s like to earn money. Plus the kids can buy stuff right from this app!

This thing couldn’t be a bigger piece of crap let me tell you. First off it’s way to complicated for most rocket scientist never mind kids! App is buggy and craps out all the time which is the last thing you want when your dealing with your family’s finances!! This thing is like a crappy attempt at knocking off Venmo. At least Venmo works! If you want to give your kids money use Venmo or give them money the old fashion way cash, because this thing is pure garbage!

I am one of the customers who gotta know about this app from one of the online forums and I instantly downloaded Jassby and started using it and it works well and the regular offers they have is a plus.

Easy to use for parents, kids and practically anyone that has a smartphone! At the rate Jassby developers are going, wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the future of internet purchases.

The this app app helped my kids figure out their allowance and made them want to do their chores faster! Jassby also served as a platform for them to learn about budgeting and saving, which is very useful at their age.

It’s very useful to transfers the funds with in the family, and there is no need of bank account to transfer the money and User Interface is very good.👍

Simple application but powerful enough to cultivate better financial habits to the children and also provides better discounts on the items in their store.

Definitely recommend Jassby!! 👌🏻
