Benjamin Talks is a Long Island-based company founded by a team of finance experts who wanted to create a resource that would better equip kids for their futures by teaching them how to save, invest, and spend their money in a responsible way.
The company's first product is the Benji Bank, which redesigns the classic piggybank into a tool to build financial fitness. Benji Bank features three compartments, which are labeled Spend, Save, and Give. When kids receive cash, they can add it to any one of the transparent compartments, and see how their money multiplies. With a clear visual teaching method, Benji Bank introduces kids of all ages to the importance of being cautious with their cash so that they can build up their capital
