This digital piggy bank teaches children about [saving money](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-budgeting1) while they have fun collecting an electronic allowance. While parents hardly ever have cold hard cash on them anymore, it's difficult to give children a sense of reward or ownership over a small personal savings collection. 'Clever Kash' is an app that's paired with a tangible piggy bank, allowing parents to e-transfer money to the child.

After a chore, [lost tooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tooth-fairy-tracker) or birthday, parents and family members can use the Clever Kash app on their phone to swipe virtual notes and coins to the child.

With a screen on the animal's belly, their savings are displayed -- encouraging kids to save money and reach certain goals.
