Short (~50 words)

MemoryBank is a child-first financial dashboard that brings a child’s savings and investment accounts into one secure, read-only experience — plus Penny, an AI money mentor that answers kids’ questions in language they actually understand. It turns real accounts into an engaging way to build financial confidence early.

Full (~100 words)

MemoryBank is a child-first financial dashboard that helps families organize and understand their child’s savings and investment accounts in one secure, read-only platform. By bringing every account together with Penny, an AI money mentor for kids, MemoryBank helps children build financial confidence through real-world investing. Rather than replacing banks or brokerages, MemoryBank transforms existing account information into an engaging educational experience that teaches the principles of saving, investing, and long-term wealth building. The platform is intentionally read-only: it cannot trade, transfer, or withdraw — families continue working directly with their financial institutions.

Founders

MemoryBank was founded by Josh and Johanna Ackerman — parents who wanted their own kids to grow up watching their investments grow, rather than discovering the accounts as a surprise at 18.

A few things to get right

  • Read-only, always. MemoryBank cannot buy, sell, transfer, or withdraw. It is a secure window into accounts held at the family’s own institutions.
  • We connect, we don’t custody. Money stays at the family’s banks and brokerages. MemoryBank never holds funds.
  • Penny is an educational money mentor, not a financial advisor. She explains; she never recommends what to buy, sell, or hold.
  • The name is one word: MemoryBank (legal entity: ACK LABS LLC, dba MyMemoryBank).
