About Allowance Savings
  • Allowance savings is the unspent allowance or the remaining allowance/unspent amount.
  • Assuming the daily allowance set is S$3.00 and your child has spent S$2.00, then the allowance savings for the day is S$1.00.
  • Your child’s monthly allowance savings will be deducted from your bank account (i.e. the account linked to your child’s Smart Buddy) and transferred to his/her bank account by 10th of the following month.
  • Do ensure you’ve enabled “Auto-Transfer Savings” on your child’s profile to enjoy this feature.
About Stamp Savings

Your child may tap his/her Smart Buddy at the school bookshop to get Smiley Stamps for S$0.50 each. The stamps value will be deducted from the linked bank account (i.e. parent’s). The stamp(s) are updated as ‘Stamp Savings’ on Smart Buddy Mobile App.

Simply complete 1 Smiley Savings Card (i.e. 20 stamps) per month to receive S$1 Bonus Dollar. Total Stamp Value and S$1 Bonus Dollar* will be credited to your child’s account by 10th of the subsequent month.

*Note:

  1. The total Stamp Value will be credited into the linked bank account (i.e. parent’s) if there is no linked child’s account.
  2. S$1 Bonus Dollar will only be rewarded if there’s at least 1 completed Smiley Savings Card and an active child’s account is linked with Smart Buddy.
  3. The total Stamp Value and S$1 Bonus Dollar will be credited to your child's account regardless of the "Auto-Transfer Savings" status.
