Akimbo is reinventing the allowance with a card that delivers money anytime, anywhere.
The Akimbo Card is a novel payment account that enables free and instant money sharing with friends and family. Members can create up to 5 sub-cards for teens, students, household helpers, staff members, or anyone. Akimbo makes it easy to link external bank accounts and set up automatic allowances to sub-cards or any other Akimbo Card. The recipient has immediate access to funds using the Akimbo Visa Prepaid Card at merchants or ATMs. Therefore, unlike existing money transfer solutions, Akimbo provides actual money delivery. At the click of a button, you can deliver money to a friend or loved one’s wallet.
In addition, the Akimbo Visa Prepaid Card can act as a full service bank account alternative. Load money by direct deposit, bank transfer, mobile check capture, or with cash at retail locations. The Akimbo Card is a great budgeting tool and helps you keep your bank account safe when shopping online or when traveling.
Akimbo Financial, Inc. is a prepaid card program manager and offers the Akimbo Card both as a direct-to-consumer product and as a turn-key white-label prepaid program to banks and credit unions.
The Akimbo Card is a novel payment account designed to increase interactivity and control with everyday transactions at merchants and with friends. Using Visa Prepaid as a platform, Akimbo enables instant money transfers between cards and offers immediate accessibility of funds anywhere Visa debit is accepted and at ATMs everywhere. Akimbo cardholders can also send funds via email, Facebook, and text (SMS) delivering a pre-loaded Akimbo Card account to the recipient.
