Connect your child’s Bank of Ireland Smart Start Account and get Gimi Pro for free

Written by Felicia Hansback

We’ve started a new partnership with Bank of Ireland to make it even easier for families to teach children about money in a safe and engaging way. As part of this partnership, Gimi Pro is completely free of charge for families who connect a child’s Bank of Ireland Smart Start account to Gimi.

Gimi Pro gives you access to our smartest features and helps children gain an even better understanding of finances, saving, and responsibility.

How does it work?

To get started, simply follow these steps:

  1. Download Gimi: If you don’t already have our app, you can download it from the App Store or Google Play.

  2. Create a Gimi profile: Sign up and create a profile for your child if you haven’t already done so.

  3. Connect your child's Smart Start account: During the onboarding process, you’ll be guided through the steps to connect your child’s Smart Start Account.

    If you’d prefer to connect the account later, simply go to “Settings”, select “Bank Account”, and tap “Connect Bank Account”.

  4. Done! Once the bank account has been connected, the whole family will automatically get access to Gimi Pro – completely free of charge.

Why are we doing this?

At Gimi, we want to help children and young people learn how to manage money in a smart and responsible way. Together with Bank of Ireland, we’re making it easier for more families to use our Pro features – at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions

Can I connect more than one child’s account?
Yes, you can connect multiple children’s Smart Start accounts to your parent profile in Gimi. As long as at least one of the children’s accounts is connected, the whole family will have access to Gimi Pro.

What happens if we disconnect the Smart Start account?
If you choose to remove the connection to Bank of Ireland, the family’s free access to Pro will end.
