Sending money is simple and can be done by bank transfer in reais (R $).

Financial Education (coming soon)

SideKick helps the student to control his budget and access offers and discounts while abroad.

For K-12 Schools

Eliminate the necessity of opening banking accounts for your students or managing their allowances. With SideKick, parents can send money direct to their child's card and monitor how they spend it.
Add SideKick Card to your welcome package and save time for your counsellors.

For Summer Camps & ESL Schools

Managing cash or paying fees on credit cards can dampen the experience for international students. All students, short term or long, can use SideKick to pay for all living expenses during their time away from their parents.
Include SideKick Card in your ESL & Summer Camp packages and make their experience in Canada safer and stress free.

Adult students can load money and monitor their own SideKick Cards. Students can control their budget and take advantages of better exchanges rates compared to prepaid travel cards or money transfer services.
