The myFamilyFinance platform combines digital services with the IoT product myPiggy to playfully teach children from the age of six how to manage money responsibly. Level and motion sensors, coin recognition, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an integrated counting game and the connection to the myFamilyFinance app make the piggy bank an interactive playmate. The children's savings wishes are created together with the parents via the app. By connecting the physical piggy bank to the online account, the myPiggy display shows the wishes together with the amount already saved.
Statement by the Jury
myPiggy brings the classic piggy bank into the digital age. The iconic form is retained and enriched with functions that help children to better understand the topic of saving.
