Hello everyone!
bankaroo has found a new family to run it – the Rodgers!
We’re excited about this new chapter for bankaroo and committed to ensuring no interruption to the service. You can continue using bankaroo with your family and schools as always.
We are so grateful to be able to build and run bankaroo for the last 13 years!
It’s been a fantastic journey, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Dani and I are thankful for your support, and we hope you continue to value bankaroo as a resource to educate kids on how to be ‘money smart’.
All the best!
Dani and Etay
Meet the Rodgers
Hi There! We are Sarah and Zach Rodgers. We have six kids ranging from high school down to preschool. We have wanted to have a family business for a long time that would allow our kids to work, serve, create, and learn to contribute positively to the world.
We are very excited to announce that Bankaroo will be that opportunity.
Since our oldest kids were very young, we were looking for a way to teach them budgeting, saving, and spending their money wisely. We went through piggy banks (even a physical piggy bank system with three compartments for spending, savings, and giving) and kept track of it on phones/Google Docs with low to moderate success.
About four years ago, we discovered Bankaroo, and we were hooked. It is hard enough to keep track of keeping everyone alive and happy, so Bankaroo made keeping track of all the kid spending so much easier.
Fast forward to this past year when we got the notice from Etay that Bankaroo would be shutting its computers. The kids were sad, and we were counting down how many months we had left to count on Bankaroo. One day our 12-year-old asked, “Well, can we run Bankaroo?” My husband wanted to be supportive and said, “Well, why not? At least we can send an email about it.” And here we are, right in the middle of our Bankaroo journey.
Our family is very excited to be a part of the Bankaroo story and to keep it going for many kids and families into the future!
