Here’s how FLX makes back-to-school easier

Term 1 is just around the corner, and the FLX prepaid Mastercard and money skills app is here to make everyday spending simple and stress-free this school year. 

Designed for kids, FLX isn’t just convenient, it teaches practical money skills while helping parents stay in control.

Here are a couple of ways that FLX makes life easier for parents and kids:

  • Made by the team you already know and trust: Families from over 2,500 Aussie schools use FLX. It’s powered by Flexischools: Australia’s #1 online school ordering platform for parents, schools and suppliers.

  • Designed with safety in mind: Age-appropriate merchant restrictions and no cash withdrawals give kids independence, within boundaries.

  • Real-time tracking gives parents peace of mind: Get full visibility over their spending behaviour with real-time notifications when your child transacts.

  • No more scrounging for cash for school payments: Kids can tap their FLX card at EFTPOS terminals with no more cash hassles.

  • Access EFTPOS without using a phone: With phones banned in many schools, kids can use their physical FLX card at EFTPOS terminals to pay for things like canteen and tuck shop purchases, events and fundraisers, and more.

  • Learn real-life money skills: Everyday spending and saving becomes a chance for your child to learn and grow. Improve your child’s financial literacy with automatic pocket money, and the ability to set and track savings goals.

  • Top-up their account while you’re on the go: Instantly top up your child’s FLX card from your Flexischools wallet. 

For older kids starting high school, FLX gives them the ability to manage their own spending in a safe, structured way, like when they’re buying lunch off-campus or grabbing a snack after school. It’s a practical step toward building confidence and accountability. 

Learn more about FLX today and set savings goals and track spending habits for your kids - all before the first school bell of 2026 rings!
