Systems and methods for account-linked piggy bank

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing circuit of a piggy bank and from an input device of a lock box, a first user input from a first user, wherein the first user input sets an authentication factor for opening the lock box;
• prompting, by the processing circuit, a second user to provide the authentication factor;
• receiving, by the processing circuit and from the input device, a second user input from a second user, the second user input comprising the authentication factor;
• comparing, by the processing circuit, the authentication factor inputted by the second user with the authentication factor inputted by the first user to determine that the second user is authorized to access the lock box;
• unlocking, by the processing circuit, the lock box based on the second user being authorized to access the lock box;
• and
• transmitting, by the processing circuit and to the user device associated with the first user, a notification indicating that the lock box has been unlocked.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a processing circuit of a piggy bank, causes the processing circuit to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from an input device of a lock box, a first user input from a first user, wherein the first user input sets an authentication factor for opening the lock box;
• prompting a second user to provide the authentication factor;
• receiving, from the input device, a second user input from a second user, the second user input comprising the authentication factor;
• comparing the authentication factor inputted by the second user with the authentication factor inputted by the first user to determine that the second user is authorized to access the lock box;
• unlocking the lock box based on the second user being authorized to access the lock box;
• and
• transmitting, to the user device associated with the first user, a notification indicating that the lock box has been unlocked.
