Say thank you with money. Keep the thanks.
HeartBank® Treasury keeps a record of the thank-yous in your family, on top of the accounts you already use.
You will land at thank.heartbank.org
Heart: the thank-you. Coin: the money. Card: the shared record. The coin goes straight between people. Nothing in the middle holds it.
- A parent thanks a child for tidying up, with a small coin and a thank-you.
- The thanks is written in a shared record.
- The child keeps half and passes half on to a grandparent.
- The thanks moves on to someone new. Thanks keep moving.

Why start a Family Kitty℠
Everyday help gets noticed
A thank-you for the cooking, the caring and the tidying-up can come with a small amount of real money.
One shared place
The whole family can see thanks going in and coming out.
Children learn to pass it on
When a child is thanked, half is theirs to keep and half is set aside to give forward.
You stay in charge
A parent or guardian opens it, invites the family and decides who joins.
What it does
- Every thank-you is written down where your family can see it.
- Money moves between your own accounts. HeartBank never holds it.
- Thanks can be passed on: what you receive, you can give forward.
