How do Goals work?

With Till, children can develop a consistent saving habit by setting specific goals for their desired items. Whether it's a new toy, video game, or even saving for an experience like a trip to an amusement park, Till empowers kids to manage their finances effectively and understand the value of saving for their interests. 🎮 🚘️

Creating a Goal ➕

​Parents/guardians 👨👩 (Account owner and admins)

1. To get started, sign in to your Till account and select the Savings tile on the left side.

2. Next, select the + new button.
3. Select a category for your goal. If none of the listed categories match your savings goal, you can choose the General Savings option instead.
4. Please select a name for your goal and enter the amount you wish to save for it.
5. As a parent or guardian, you can lock a goal, preventing your child from withdrawing money or ending the goal without your permission. To lock a goal, simply toggle the option. 🔒
6. Last but not least, you have the option to accelerate your child's progress by adding a goal boost! (See below for more information)
