Squirrel Away follows strict financial controls, complies with data protection laws and offers transparent reporting. Squirrel Away is designed with trust and safety at its core. How It Works (Phase 1) Getting started is quick and easy: Sign up and create an account. Add a child’s profile. Share a gift link for birthdays, graduations, or any special moment. Friends and family contribute directly to the child’s investment fund. Funds are securely held in money market accounts, earning interest, typically higher than standard savings accounts
