Futureit – Send Meaningful Financial Gifts Send money or a gift card toward what someone is actually saving for — a bike, a trip, a first laptop — instead of another gift that gets outgrown. Futureit lets family and friends contribute to a child's goals from one place. Add the people you look after, share a goal, and let grandparents, aunts and uncles chip in from anywhere. KEY FEATURES 1. Goals worth saving for: Set a goal for each child — a bike, a summer camp, a first car — and watch contributions add up toward it. 2. Gift links: Share a goal with family who don't have the app. They contribute straight from a browser, with nothing to download. 3. Voice notes: Record a short message with your gift so it arrives in your own voice, not just as a number on a screen. 4. Cards worth opening: Pick a card from the catalog or design your own, and add a personal message. 5. Money or gift cards: Send a contribution toward a goal, cash for something specific, or a gift card when that suits the moment better. 6. Family profiles: Add the children you look after, with photos, and keep everyone's goals and wishlists together. 7. Circles: Bring the family around a single goal, so a group can give something bigger than any one person would. 8. Thank-you notes: Children can send gratitude back, so giving feels like a conversation rather than a transaction. 9. One dashboard: See what's been sent and received, with gift activity and history laid out clearly. 10. Secure payments: Payments are powered by Stripe, and account protection features help keep your information safe. WHO IT'S FOR Parents and guardians setting up goals for the children they look after. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends who want a birthday gift to still mean something a year later. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Some features may require account setup and verification to ensure a secure and compliant experience. Availability of certain features may vary depending on region and applicable regulations. Wish it. Gift it. Grow it — be a wealth wisher.
