Back to school, not back to chaos

January always arrives with big energy. Fresh starts, new routines, and the hopeful belief that this will be the year mornings run smoothly.

‍

Then the school bell rings, lunchboxes go missing and someone needs money immediately. Back to school excitement turns into back to chaos very quickly. This year, it does not have to.

‍

Karri was built to make everyday school spending simpler, calmer and more manageable for families. And as the school year kicks off, it is the perfect time to rethink how money fits into your daily routine.

If you already use the Karri app, the Karri Card just makes sense

If the Karri app is already part of your school setup, adding the Karri Card is what completes the picture.

‍

Together, they give you clear visibility into what your child is spending, when they are spending it and where. No guesswork. No awkward follow-up questions later.

‍

The Karri Card links directly to the app, allowing your child to pay for everyday school needs independently while you stay in control behind the scenes. No last-minute transfers. No scrambling for cash before the gate closes.

One system. Everything connected. Seamless school spending, sorted.

Giving kids more responsibility, without losing control

One of the best parts of the Karri Card is what it teaches. It gives kids a safe, practical way to practice independence in everyday moments.

‍

While parents usually handle stationery and school activities directly through the Karri app, the Karri Card is where children step in. It lets them manage their own tuck-shop spend, whether at their school or another, and make choices with their pocket money.

‍

Each tap builds confidence and responsibility, without kids having to manage money on their own or parents losing visibility.

‍

Parents still stay firmly in control. You see every transaction and set the rules. Your child gets freedom within boundaries, and that balance is what builds confidence and good habits over time.

‍

Safety is built in, quietly doing its job

Of course, responsibility does not mean everything is allowed. Some categories are simply not up for debate.

‍

Bottle stores and gambling are blocked (T&Cs apply), so kids can spend safely. These restrictions are built into the Karri Card by default, meaning there is no need to constantly monitor or worry. The limits are there, working in the background, while your child focuses on school and everyday essentials.

A calmer start to the school year

Back to school does not need to feel overwhelming. With the right tools in place, it can feel organised, predictable and far less stressful.

‍

The Karri Card helps turn daily spending into something simple and sensible, rather than another thing to manage. Less chaos, fewer interruptions and more confidence for both parents and kids.

‍

Because the school year is busy enough. Your money system should make life easier, not harder.
