Initially, the mobile payment app was intended for those over 18. Still, due to the awareness of the importance of financial literacy in teenagers, it was decided to allow those over 13 to start entering the economic area.
While young people aged 13 and older can now download the app on their mobile devices, they can only make transfers, i.e., they are not eligible to buy cryptocurrencies. An exclusive requirement for those over 13 years of age is to have the approval of a parent, guardian, legal representative, or adult. Without this consent, those under 18 cannot access the app.
The financial platform offers many benefits and services for its users, especially for teenagers who are just starting to learn about the world of economics and finance.
