Spend your student budget smarter, with HyperJar

The free HyperJar app comes with a prepaid student card that let's you organise your spending in mini-accounts, shown as digital jars in the app. Create the jars that suit your life and budget, for everything from rent, bills, nights out and food to longer-term plans for things like a summer trip with friends. With the smart HyperJar prepaid card you can pay from any jar directly, so you’re always spending from the right budget.

Managing money like this helps you to see exactly how much you’ve got for the term, where it needs to go - and when you might need a top-up from a friendly parent.

 What can I use a HyperJar prepaid student card for?

Decide what you can spend in the week, month or term ahead on the essentials as well as nights out or weekends away. If you’re planning a festival trip with friends, create a jar for that, share it with them and all start chipping in what you can, when you can. Like a WhatsApp group for money.

Use the card anywhere that takes Mastercard - online, in stores, at home or on holiday. Unlike many banks, we don’t add any fees on top when you spend abroad with your HyperJar card.
