Is Strive a bank?

Strive is a family account and a range of practical money management and financial tools that provide parents and kids with easy and practical ways to learn about money and savings. The Strive offering comprises a low cost savings account, interactive digital piggy banks, a smarter debit card and a marketplace with offers from a range of toy and educational brands that can reward kids for hitting their saving goals.

We are not a bank. We are partnering with an existing fully registered UK institution to bring our account to market. This means that deposits provided through the Shrive site and app are protected by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Thrive also uses the latest security technology to protect your money & privacy.

How is Strive different from other banks?

Strive is designed for families - The majority of parents are looking for ways to teach their children about money. Strive is part financial education company, part bank.

You can start using Strive practical resources with your kids at any age - Unlike our competitors you don’t have to wait for the kids to be old enough for a debit card. Parents can create a Strive account at any age to begin.

We bring you much more than just a debit card for your kids

We don’t just give parents an account, we give them age appropriate tools to teach key concepts, such as saving, goals, chores, rewards and more.

When will Strive be launched?

Strive is initially launching in the UK and is currently taking expressions of interest ahead of our equity crowdfunding Seedrs campaign in January, that will take us toward our first 10,000 amazing families enjoying practical money lessons every day.
