- Designed to be educational for kids and to instill positive money habits

What's New in Guardian Savings
2.0
January 20, 2023
Thanks for using Guardian Savings! This new version has performance enhancements and a new app platform.
Does exactly what it needs to in a simple intuitive way. It’s refreshing to have an app that isn’t trying to sell you something every 10 seconds and loaded with ads. I’ve been using this for several years and it’s worked great. As soon as my kids get money they almost always say “Dad, will you put this in my account?” When we’re at the store and they want something it’s easy to check their balance. It also helps them control their spending because it has savings goals/jars.
