What on earth is Qwiddle? It’s an online piggybank.
Qwiddle launched in 2014 with a clear objective – to teach children about good money habits. As an online piggybank, Qwiddle is powered by PayPal and lets children manage their pocket money in a safe environment.
Qwiddle is free and empowers children by giving them a degree of independence with their money helping them to learn about spending or saving, under their parent’s supervision.

- Make online payments using PayPal’s robust infrastructure – all payments must be supervised by the parent
- Set goals for the things they want – a kickback against impulse spending
