Deal significance: Fintech start-up Spriggy completed a $2.5 million capital raising round earlier this month.

The company, founded by former investment bankers Mario Hasanakos and Alex Badran, offers a prepaid card and mobile app to help people aged eight to 18 manage their money.

Parents are able to top up the account and track their children’s spending through the app.

Spriggy was developed under the H2 Ventures start-up accelerator program. The company will use the capital raised for hiring, product development and marketing to increase its 35,000-strong customer base.

“Spriggy is a clever and practical idea to help educate young people in money management,” said Clayton Utz lawyer Annella Cox.

“It was exciting to work with co-founders Mario and Alex to secure further funding to help them grow Spriggy’s reach to more Australian families.”
