The Clanq credit card is designed specifically for grandparents, godparents, aunts, uncles and family friends who want to help your child save. Whilst parents usually manage the main Clanq account, the credit card offers everyone else the perfect way to help with saving and earning cashback, hassle-free.

Earning cashback works in exactly the same way for clan members as it does for holders of the Clanq main account. As soon as the invitation to join the family clan has been accepted and the personal Clanq credit card has been successfully issued, the piggy bank is linked.

From that moment on, 1% of the amount spent on the card is credited as cashback. This money flows into the child’s piggy bank at no extra cost and with no further effort.

In their app, clan members have access only to an overview of their own transfers and cashback contributions. This means they can see exactly how much they have already contributed towards the child’s savings.

However, they have no account access rights and cannot access the money. Furthermore, they cannot view the child’s total account balance or the contributions made by other clan members. Full control and access to the vault and the main account lie solely with the person who holds the Clanq main account.

Via the Clanq app, from you as the account holder. You add your family member to your family clan via «Features» -> «My family clan». The person will then receive an invitation by e-mail.

The «card with heart» is a unique, personalised card. As the user with the main account, you decide which image appears on the credit card during the invitation process in the app.

Simply choose a lovely photo – for example, a picture of your child, a family photo or a snapshot of you all together. This image is then printed on the front of the card. This way, your clan member carries a lovely memory with them in their wallet every time they make a payment in their daily life.
