Tinkoff Junior Chat

Young clients will be able to reach Tinkoff Bank’s managers via chat. Other features include access to age-relevant content in Tinkoff Stories such as advice on using bank products.

Parents can use their own mobile app to top up their child’s Tinkoff Junior accounts. There is also the facility to offer financial rewards for children doing tasks, which the child has the option to decline. Parents can amend the child’s spending limits and enable the “Where is My Child?” feature. This enables parents to keep an eye on their child’s whereabouts.

Going beyond promoting financial literacy

Maxim Yevdokimov, Chief Digital CX Officer at Tinkoff Bank said: “While you are reading this, the world of financial services has already changed. Similarly, today’s children and teenagers will soon become the banks’ primary audience.

“It will take no more than five or seven years for them to start opening deposit accounts and using credit cards. As we speak, they often prove to be more advanced in modern gadgets and solutions than their parents.

In developing Tinkoff Junior, we sought to go beyond promoting financial literacy. We have leveraged our hands-on experience in managing personal finances. Our objective is simply to support this knowledge with an easy-to-use and robust tool.”
