We Demystify Money.

Money has become incredibly complex.

 Conventional ideas about money have overlooked the more complex relationship we have with money, and the impact it is continuing to have on the dignity of people and the sustainability of our planet. What we don't understand ends up controlling us, and it's hard to live a flourishing life when we are not in control of our money. As a result, financial stress has become a big worry for many of us today.

Money Is Only One Form Of Capital

L​​It's not just about saving money, after all, a bank balance is not a true indicator of happiness. So, what then makes for a rich and meaningful life?

We introduce money as one form of capital, but with a broader view of wealth and how money impacts people and the planet. We encourage young people to clarify what is really important and to make a plan for how money can serve as a tool, and to start investing in all 8 forms of Capital*.

It's Not Just About Knowing, But About Doing and Being

Calculating dollars and cents is the easy part. But a money decision is often more complex because it's never just about the money, but our emotions, relationships, and expectations. ​We see money as an invitation to examine the deeper influences that guide our decisions, and uncover an inner transformation journey across the head, hand, and heart.

Partner Stories

NTUC Income OrangeAid Future Development Program

PlayMoolah partnered with NTUC Income to power the financial education track of their Future Development Program. Working with all 8 of the Polytechnics and Institutes of Technical Education (ITEs), we ran our popular Moolah Run simulation for 400 students over 4 different sessions.

  • High engagement ratings from students who attended
  • Students reported increased confidence in their ability to manage their money
  • High potential students will be selected to be trained as facilitators for the next batch

Boon Lay Community

Over a year, PlayMoolah partnered with the good folks at Mosaik to work in the Boon Lay community on Moolahsophy - a financial empowerment program for children. The program was designed with mixed modalities including forum theatre, storytelling, games, and arts to empower children with the mindset and tools to build a healthy relationship with money. Starting with door-to-door visits, the team together with grassroots volunteers recruited 50 participants for this initiative with POSB PAssion kids fund as a sponsor. We began with a holiday bootcamp, followed by workshops for parents, and ending with a entrepreneurship bootcamp and carnival that was open to the public.
  • High engagement and very positive feedback from children and parents who attended
  • Children were observed to demonstrate increased self-efficacy, adaptability, and resilience
  • 8 teams earned a total of $1,279 from their stalls, that was 43 sales per hour!

DBS Bank

To engage and educate their next generation digital customers, DBS backed WhyMoolah, Singapore's first real-life simulation on mobile. Developed by PlayMoolah with our awesome partner Inzen Studios, the process of co-creation by listening to the challenges and aspirations of young millennials was a key part of the design. In addition, the simulation was tied to monthly "real rewards" to bridge the in-app experience with real-world behavioral action. This primed behaviors such as setting up an automated salary deposit every month, signing up for a brokerage account. Participants also got experiential prizes like meeting a famous local personalities!​

  • Improved brand perception and customer engagement
  • 100 downloads a day with 64% app completion rates
  • 5-15% leads generated depending on campaign

DBS Bank

To encourage savings among children in a fun and exciting way, OCBC partnered with PlayMoolah's online educational game on both web and mobile. Children who opened an account got access to our Moolahverse online. On top of that, saving $50 every month, would allow them to get a "secret code" at the bank to unlock new modules online. This was an exciting integration of an offline-online experience, and a bold move to encourage savings behavior change through online games.
  • Improved brand perception and customer engagement
  • 78% of kids saved more at OCBC with PlayMoolah
  • $500,000 saving deposits collected through PlayMoolah in 6 months
