Abstract
Systems and methods for an account-linked piggy bank are described. The system includes a piggy bank comprising a compartment, a lid, a sensor, a lock, a network interface, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to associate the piggy bank with a first account of a user. The processing circuit is further configured to receive, decoded coin data from an encodable physical coin, wherein the decoded coin data includes a transaction request indicating a currency amount to be transferred to the first account from a second account. The processing circuit is configured to transmit the transaction request to a provider computing system. The processing circuit is further configured to receive a transaction request confirmation from the provider computing system and transmit a notification to a user device of the user indicating the currency amount has been deposited into the first account of the user.
