Fees not clear
This app is a subscription. The same cost no matter the plan. In my opinion, the iou plan should be free, allowing users to get comfortable with the app before deciding to commit financially.
Loved for a long time, but it’s starting to fall behind others
We are trying another program because it was a free perk with a different account. Although I have loved FamZoo for years, I’m starting to feel it’s lacking.
The other program makes it much easier to fund my account using my Deb card, so the funds are available to send to my child immediately if needed. My son is starting to drive and if he ever needs emergency money, that would be a great feature.
The other program includes financial lessons for the kids. It allows easy transfers between friends and family members not in the family account. It automatically has spending and savings accounts without a hassle of additional cards that won’t be used. And so on.
FamZoo served my family well and I’m not sure we will be completely leaving because I have a 2 year old we stash cash for in here and the other place she can’t have an account until 6, but I now realize how many features I wish FamZoo would implement.

5 stars
Great app that has worked excellent for my two daughters. I highly recommend.
Convenient tool for money management
We’ve used FamZoo for several years, and our 3 pre-teen kids love it. It’s a great way for parents to teach fiscal responsibility, and the cards and app make things very convenient and easy for both parents and kids. And the customer service is great. Highly recommend FamZoo!
Great for family budget
We use our FamZoo cards a little differently. We named each one for a different budget item. Groceries, Home Maintenance, Gas, Dinning Out, Pets etc. Then each payday, we add money from our bank account (via Apple Pay) and put the amount on each card we need. We switched to this budget plan instead of using cash envelopes in 2020. It works extremely well for us. Customer service is wonderful! If you have an issue, you can email them and I always heard back within the same day. There is also a FB group you can join that the company maintains and actively moderates.
