The news: Aambé™ Financial has partnered with Rego Payment Architectures (RPMT) to bring a tribal family banking platform to Tribal communities—starting with youth accounts and expanding to elder-care safeguards and fractional investing. Rego Payments
What we keep hearing from families and leaders
Real words we hear in conversations, forums, and community meetings:
“I’m tired of surprise fees and feeling like a number.”
“My kid is learning about money from TikTok—can we teach them safely, for real?”
“Our elders need simple protections from scams, not more apps.”
“We want tools that respect Tribal governance and our way of doing things.”
This partnership is designed to answer those pain points—practically, and under Tribal direction. Rego Payments

What this unlocks (now and next)
Youth banking (live now):Give kids and teens a safe way to learn, earn, save, and spend with adult oversight—think spending limits, real-time alerts, and card controls that build healthy money habits. (These are the standard safety features families expect in leading kids’ cards.) Business InsiderForbes
Elder-care safeguards (next):Tools that help caregivers spot unusual activity early, set sensible limits, and reduce risk—because elder financial exploitation is real and costly. MediaRoom
Fractional investing (next):Small, guided steps into investing—so families can start building wealth without needing a big balance. Rego Payments
Trust & safety:Rego’s tech for youth has been described as COPPA/GDPR-compliant in company materials. We’ll work with each Tribe’s policies, CIO/CISO, and legal teams to align controls and data practices. Stock TitanYahoo Finance
Why this matters for Indian Country
Reach: There are 574 federally recognized Tribes—and each community deserves tribal family banking that reflects its governance and culture. Bureau of Indian AffairsCongress.gov
Inclusion gap: Unbanked rates have improved nationally, but American Indian/Alaska Native households still face higher unbanked/underbanked rates versus white households. Purpose-built solutions help close that gap. FDIC
Protecting elders: Older adults lose an estimated $28.3B annually to financial exploitation—the majority never report it. Practical controls and visibility can help. MediaRoom
How it fits Tribal priorities
Tribal control: Branding, enrollment, and program rules align to your governance and data-stewardship requirements.
Cultural fit: Education and messaging are built for families—youth, parents, and elders—so tools are simple and stigma-free.
Pathway to wealth: Start with everyday habits (save, spend, earn), then open doors to investing when the community is ready. Rego Payments

What a pilot looks like (simple and fast)
Discovery (30–45 min): Goals, governance, data questions.
Pilot scope: One department (education, youth program) or a single enterprise.
Training & launch: Parent/guardian onboarding, caregiver guidance, help desk plan.
Review & expand: Measure adoption and outcomes; add elder safeguards and investing on your timeline. Rego Payments
The bottom line
Families want tools that are safe, simple, and theirs. Leaders want programs that respect sovereignty and deliver real inclusion—not one-size-fits-all banking. This partnership is about meeting both needs with practical steps that build intergenerational wealth.
