Leap Products and Services
Leap has developed financial education software that provides parents with tools that enable them to teach their children how to be financially responsible and independent. Any person over the age of 21 (“User”) can set up a Leap Account using the Website or the Application. A User can then nominate their children aged 6-18 as child users (“Child User”). The Application has a different user interface for Users and for Child Users.
Users can subscribe for a virtual or physical Prepaid Card and a Savings Bucket on the Child User’s behalf that is linked to the User’s Leap Account.
Parents can top up the Prepaid Card with their child’s pocket money, track spending habits of their child and set any spending parameters or restrictions on Transactions on a Prepaid Card. The crediting of a child’s allowance can be automated. Using the child’s version of the Application, a child can track pocket money deposits, view Prepaid Card balances and Transactions. The child can use the Prepaid Card worldwide to pay for goods and services wherever Visa is accepted or to draw out cash from an ATM that accepts the card.
The Savings Bucket is designed to help educate children about savings. Parents or Children can specify a savings goal/plan. Any funds credited to a Savings Bucket can only be used for Transactions once they are transferred, with the approval of a parent to a Prepaid Card issued to the same Child User. Please note that if a savings goal has been specified any unspent amounts standing to the credit of a Prepaid Card at the end of any automated allowance cycle will automatically be transferred to the Savings Bucket. If there is no allowance credited then this transfer will not take place to ensure that the child has money on their Prepaid Card. A child can also manually transfer money from their card to this Savings Bucket at any time.
Parents are able to set their children daily or recurring weekly tasks; Tasks are a fun way to help teach children how to earn extra pocket money. A parent can create a task of their choosing, enter a due date, and the amount of money the child will receive for completing the task. On completion of these tasks, and with parent approval, the reward will be posted directly to the Child’s Prepaid Card.
(together the “Leap Services”)
Please note:
Neither the Prepaid Card nor the Savings Bucket are an actual bank account and therefore do not earn interest on funds credited. The Prepaid Card is not a credit card therefore can only be used when there are sufficient funds credited to it.
Leap does not hold any consumer funds or oversee or manage use of the Prepaid Card or the Savings Bucket. Any User funds related to the Leap program described in these Terms are held by the Issuing Bank and your card usage, processing and authorisations are managed by the Programme Manager.
Setting up a Leap Account
A User has to register for a Leap Account and then sponsor their children as Child Users in relation to that Leap Account. The User can apply for a Prepaid Card on behalf of the Child User and a Savings Bucket will automatically be created for that Child User. If you have and use a physical Prepaid Card and a virtual Prepaid Card at the same time, both forms of your Prepaid Card will be associated with one primary account number, which will allow you to access the funds available in your Card Account. The User is the responsible party for the Leap Account and for any associated Card Account.
If you’re a parent or legal guardian, and you allow your child to use the Leap Services, then these Terms apply to you and your child and you are responsible for any Child User’s activity on the Website and Application and/or use of Leap Services. The User takes full responsibility and will be entirely liable for any sponsored Child User to Leap, the Programme Manager and the Issuing Bank.

They will also need to provide details related to their employment including details related to remuneration and provide a scan of their Emirates ID. The Application also undertakes a face scan to be able to verify the identity of any User.
For any Child User a User will need to provide full legal name, email and phone contact details and place of birth and relationship to the User and provide a scan of the Child User’s Emirates ID.
