Launched in September 2015, Clever Kash is a cashless moneybox that integrates with the ASB Mobile banking app to help teach children the value of money in an increasingly cashless society. It is designed to help keep children motivated towards their savings goals and help establish positive savings behaviour from an early age. The first edition of Clever Kash is in market now and being tested by Kiwi families across the country. ASB will continue to release and test additional features with select customers over the next few months. More than 37,000 people have registered their interest in Clever Kash to-date.
Shane Evans, ASB General Manager Marketing said: “It has been a great experience bringing the Clever Kash concept to life with our partners at Saatchi & Saatchi. Together, we’ve taken a compelling idea and developed it into a physical product aimed at encouraging positive financial habits in children.”
Corey Chalmers, Joint ECD added: “Clever Kash is a real product, solving a real world problem for ASB’s customers. This is an exciting new world for us to be playing in, but it can’t be done without an incredible collaboration built on trust, respect and a genuine passion to make a difference.”
ASB Chief Architect James Bergin said: “Clever Kash is a result of ASB’s wonderful combination of innovative technology and thinking alongside Saatchi’s storytelling prowess. Together, we pushed each other out of our comfort zones and couldn’t be more excited and proud of our teams.”
Clever Kash was invented by ASB and Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand. The 15cm tall moneybox was developed in collaboration with ASB’s Technology & Innovation Labs, the Saatchi & Saatchi innovation team, Assembly, Kamahi Electronics and 4Design.
