POSB Smart Buddy is the world’s first in-school savings and payments wearable on your child’s wrist. It lets your child tap to pay in school and at selected merchants, check on balances, and track fitness levels. All with a tap on the terminal or a simple push of a button.

Paired with a mobile app, you can instantly increase allowance, manage your child's finances and encourage smart living and saving habits. Most of all, you get to do them all while on the go.

Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, encourage your child to go cashless to minimise contact risk.
