Award winning 3D books now feature safe youth payments online

HERMOSA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Virtual Piggy, Inc. (OTCBB: VPIG), an innovator in safe youth payments, today announced that it has added its youth-friendly payment system to Popar Toys' ecommerce website.


Virtual Piggy allows parents to set up a monthly allowance for their children and promotes financial management while empowering youth under 21 to make purchasing, saving and other money management decisions for themselves, within the boundaries setup by parents.

Popar Toys uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology to create an immersive reading experience that will allow the user to see incredible virtually "real" 3D objects that will pop off the book or cards. By downloading software onto a computer or smartphone users are able to view books and objects through a camera and watch them come to life in 3D. In 2012, Popar Toys was given the "Best of Toy Fair Award" from The View, in addition to Creative Child Magazine's "Book of the Year", "Media of the Year" and Preferred Choice Awards.

"Our products feature ground-breaking technology to truly immerse and engage young readers," said Scott Jochim, President at Popar Toys. "So, it only made sense that we partner with an innovator like Virtual Piggy to enable our readers to safely purchase our products online."

"Popar Toys produces some of the most exciting toys around, and their buzz continues to grow," said Virtual Piggy Founder and CEO Dr. Jo Webber. "They're a great addition to our growing portfolio of toys and books."
