Modak is a US-based platform leveraging the power of fintech, gamification, and community to empower kids to reach their full potential. We are founded with an audacious vision to enable kids and young adults to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. We pursue this mission by offering a gamified fintech and learning ecosystem - with teen cards, financial literacy, and other services. We build for scale and security using the best technologies and enrich the user experience with a thriving community that supports each other. Modak is trusted by over 30,000 families and growing by the day. We are one of the most well-funded early-stage startups, and we are grateful for the 5+ years of runway we have even in this market. Our investors include GGV Capital ($9.2Billion VC firm), Monashees, Maya Capital, Nazca VC, One VC, and 30+ leading angel investors and entrepreneurs across Silicon Valley and Latin America.
There are no hidden fees associated with Modak. We don't charge for opening a card and most of our services. However, if you need expedited or premium services, our app will show you and ask for your permission before charging the fees. For example, we charge $0.50 for debit cards (and 3% extra for credit cards and Apple/Google Pay) when you load your kid’s modak card with your debit or credit cards. Do note that our normal ACH - funding via your other bank accounts - is free.
We have implemented several ways to protect your personal information:
A MoCard is a card through which you can spend your money, and earn/spend rewards points (Mobucks) for healthy behaviors. Parents can fund the MoCard account, and these funds can be used to set limits on the spendings. This means parents have the ability to guide and monitor their teen's spending while teaching them financial responsibility.
Modak blocks unsafe spending categories, offers real-time transaction tracking and monitoring, and allows instant card lock/unlock. Data is encrypted and secured with biometrics. Modak complies with CFPB regulations to ensure high security and privacy standards. Moreover, your checking accounts and debit cards are issued by Lewis & Clark Bank, Member FDIC.
By following these revised steps, you'll have a clearer and more concise process for deleting your account on the Modak app.
Disclaimer: We will securely delete or render irretrievable all your information and card data that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. All backup data will be subject to the same retention and deletion policies as outlined in our T&C.
Modak makes revenues from the interchange fees that Visa charges merchants for processing the transaction. Modak uses that revenue to offer MoCard and other services to our customers. Moreover, Modak generate revenue from our partnerships with brands on merchant offers.
