Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about creating an account in MyKidsSpending

What happens after I finish the process?

Once your account is created, you will receive a confirmation email with a secure link to set your own password. Click the link in the email to choose your password and access your account. If you provided a student ID that matches our records, your student will be linked immediately. Otherwise our support team will follow up within 24 business hours.

What if I don't have my school code or my information can't be verified?

If you do not have the student id number, or we are unable to verify student information you have entered, don't worry; we will email a confirmation of your account set up within 24 business hours of your request.

Can I register multiple students under my MyKidsSpending.com account?

If you need to register multiple accounts, please use the Submit button to register one student first. After logging in, navigate to Settings → Add Student to link additional student accounts.

How can I make sure I receive the registration confirmation email?

Please be sure to allow emails from AccountSetup@MyKidsSpending.com. You should add us to your address book so that the registration email is not filtered as spam.

What should I do if I don't receive my registration confirmation email?

First, check your spam/junk folder. If you still don't see it, please contact our support team at support@mykidsspending.com for assistance.

I'm a parent and don't have my child's student ID yet — can I still create an account?

Yes! Simply fill in your name, email, phone number, and school. You do not need a student ID to create your parent account. After logging in, use the Add Student feature in your profile to link your child's school account once you have their ID.

What is the difference between a parent account and a student / employee / faculty account?

A parent or guardian account lets you manage and fund accounts for one or more students. You create your login first and then link your children using the Add Student feature. A student, employee, or faculty account links directly to your record in the school system — you'll need your school-assigned ID number and your last name as it appears in the school's records to complete registration and link immediately.
