The money experience built for kids.

    Earn It
    Save It
    Spend It
    Learn It
  

Most kids will handle money every day of their lives. Too few are ever shown how. Sunshine+Kittens changes that — real earning, saving, and spending in a cinematic world that makes financial literacy something kids come back to.

Sunshine+Kittens in a nutshell

A money app. A debit card. A universe that changes everything.

Sunshine+Kittens gives every child aged 6–12 a real money account — a Mastercard debit card, a place to earn, save and spend — wrapped inside a cinematic universe that teaches financial literacy through the language kids already speak.

More Minecraft than maths club. More life-changing than either.

    Earn It
  
    Every decision inside the Kitten Space Academy connects to how money works in the real world.

    Spend It
  
    A real Mastercard debit card. Ships need fuel. Missions need kit. Spend smart, go further. Spend wild, learn fast.

    Save It
  
    Set goals. Watch Sunshine tokens stack up. Bigger ambitions need bigger savings. Kids learn that before it costs them anything real.

    Learn It
  
    Before they know it, they know it. Every mission is a genuine financial concept in disguise, reinforced until it sticks.

The gap

47%

Just 47% of children and young people aged 7–17 in the UK are receiving a meaningful financial education, at home or at school

Did you know?

"Only 1 in 3 children receives some form of financial education at primary school."

– Research by the Centre for Financial Capability, cited in the House of Commons Education Committee's report.

We see this not as a gap.
But as neglect.

Introducing the Kitten Space Academy

A universe where money makes sense.

The moment the app opens, children are inside the Kitten Space Academy — characters, missions, galaxies. No form-filling. No dull onboarding. Real financial decisions. Real rewards. Understanding builds before they even realise it's happening.

Cinematic, joyful, and genuinely life-changing.

The opportunity

The UK has 5.7 million children aged 6–12.

We believe every one of them needs a money account. Every one of them deserves to understand it. Sunshine+Kittens combines a real money experience with the kind of immersive, curriculum-led learning that makes financial literacy stick.
