PAYjr Offers Teens Design Your Own’ Debit Cards

DALLAS – PAYjr, the provider of online literacy programs for teenagers, said yesterday it has signed with Serverside Group to allow teens the chance to design their own prepaid cards, the PAYjr Visa Buxx Card. PAYjr offers a variety of teen financial literacy programs, including a debit card that allows parents to add or subtract money and to monitor teen spending. The new design-you-own card will be available through participating credit unions and banks this summer. PAYjr will be running a card design contest to promote the program, allowing teens to place an interactive mini version of their own design on blogs and MySpace pages. PAYjr is also negotiating with ‘parent friendly’ musical artists, sports teams and popular teen brands to provide teens with a wide variety of card designs to choose from.
