Why choose HyperJar for SEN kids?
HyperJar is a safe, structured way for children with special educational needs including autism or ADHD to develop money management skills, independence, and gain confidence. The app uses a visual ‘jam jar’ system, an intuitive way to manage money according to how you want to spend or save it.
Adults can order prepaid debit cards for their children aged 6-16, which work anywhere that Mastercard is accepted and can be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay for even safer spending. You’ll be notified on your phone every time they use their card so you’ll always know what’s been spent and where.
Benefits of a HyperJar card for Special Educational Needs kids
While children get their own payment card and the sense of independence that comes with that, parents and carers can decide how much, what and where their child spends.
HyperJar kids’ cards can’t be used at ATMs, so there are no worries about carrying cash around. If the card is ever lost, it can be frozen from the app instantly to stop any further spending (and unfrozen the moment the card is found).

HyperJar SEN kids’ card FAQs
HyperJar’s visual digital jam jar system can be a real help to people who find lists and the black & white ledgers of traditional accounts a bit overwhelming - or just tricky to interpret . Each jar can be named and colour coded by the child to help with organisation, while goal-setting features encourage planning skills. Being able to allocate spending in advance supports impulse control, and the prepaid card ensures safe, controlled spending without the risk of debt or need to carry cash.
Children with ADHD can struggle with impulse spending and organisation. HyperJar helps by allowing parents to pre-allocate money into specific jars for different spending categories, reducing impulsive purchases and making.
