Shryk has developed a new generation online banking platform that allows clients to build "flavors" of online bankings systems for discreet demographics. We have built versions for youth (5 to 11) teens (12 to 17) and young adults (18 to 24). These are the first real online banking systems for kids. We provide a strong emphasis on teaching financial literacy through the system, and have created a free Website for schools that gives them a simulated banking experience and all our financial literacy content. By doing this, we provide communities a way to create a path where kids can use our system in school with play money, and then move to banks and credit unions to open real money accounts. This allows schools, financial institutions, kids and their parents a single platform to that can dramatically improve financial literacy for the next generation. The next flavors that will be developed will be targeted as senior citizens, and the Spanish community.
