RoosterMoney has been helping Foster families manage their pocket money for some years and we’re proud to offer that support through our pocket money app and the educational resources provided alongside. We believe that the world would be a better place if we all started talking to our children about money a little earlier in life, and that’s no different if you’re a child in foster care. We’ve worked hard to make RoosterMoney relevant to Foster Families, whether you want to transfer your subscription between children or download pocket money statements to help you keep track for your Social Worker – we’re here to help.

Never forget to give pocket money
Set an allowance to get automatically delivered to your child’s account on a specific day. Or, if you prefer to manage it ad-hoc, you can Boost them money as and when!
Keep Track
Use our statements in the App to track and download records of pocket money transactions. Your child can log in too!
Separate Money into Pots
With the Spend, Save and Give pots, you can encourage your kids to set aside money for later or donate towards causes they support. You can also use the ‘Split Allowance’ feature to automatically divide their allowance into different pots and apply pot restrictions to give you the control over spending you might need.
Spending with the Rooster Card
Upgrade to the Rooster Card and your children can use their pocket money online or at the shops with your oversight. Set flexible spending limits and receive instant spending notifications so you can maintain peace of mind.

Help them save towards the things they want
In a world of instant gratification it’s easy to forget that good things take time. Your kids can learn the value of money by setting up Goals they can gradually save towards.
Earn money through chores
Access our Chores Manager with the Rooster Card and you can tie pocket money earning to chore routines in any number of ways to suit you and your family; and chores can be created by the parent or carer to suit the child’s age and ability.
Transfer Your Subscription
If you’re a foster family and you’re worried about the cost of the subscription if the child in your care moves homes, don’t worry we can cater for that by transferring your subscription to another child in your care. You can do this in the app by tapping ‘Manage subscriptions’ from ‘My subscriptions’ or you can tap ‘Contact us’ in app to speak to our Support team.
