Who is behind "Spend Responsibly"?


We are Plastyc Inc., a privately held US corporation with a principal office in New York. Our mission is to provide payment and money management services to anyone between the ages of 13 and 29 in the most responsible way possible, and to help companies which need to do business with young users in that age range.

We operate from both US coasts, in New York and San Francisco and our technology development is coordinated out of the United Kingdom.

We have partnered with reputable established financial institutions such as Meta Payment Systems, payment systems networks like Visa & Green Dot Corporation, and transactions processors like Fidelity Information Services to deliver and operate a first set of services under the name
UPside Visa®

The Spend Responsibly website is developed in partnership with other companies, institutions and individuals, who share an interest in making sure that "Generation Y", i.e. those born after 1980, is smarter about its money than previous generations.
