HyperJar<\/a> has launched its new smart-spending app, featuring some world-first technology to help make our money relationships more productive and enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customers can share any of their jars with up to 100 other people to create instant joint-accounts and digital kitties, and choose to lock-in spending money with HyperJar partners for a 4.8% Annual Growth Rate. The account comes with a prepaid debit Mastercard which can be added to Google Pay and Apple Pay.<\/span><\/p>\n
