How does Modak make money?

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.

How do I know Modak is safe?

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 Legend Bank, N.A., FDIC-Insured.

What is the MoCard account for?

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.
