Protect what matters.

Family Shield goes beyond other caregiving apps — because it's for the whole family. For older loved ones, you can monitor accounts for suspicious activity, cover them up to $1M against identity theft§ and up to $100K against deceptive transfer fraud,§ and watch out for their personal safety.

What do Family Shield and Aura have in common?

It's great that both Family Shield and Aura are focused on digital safety, identity theft protection, credit monitoring, and fraud alerts. They're both working to keep your online life secure, which is super important.

What makes Family Shield stand out?

We're all about bundling money management and family safety into one app. Imagine having debit cards, location sharing, driving reports, and that extra deceptive transfer fraud coverage — all in one place. Aura focuses mainly on digital safety, but they don’t offer features that help you care for older adult loved ones. Family Shield, on the other hand, gives you a glimpse into their financial account activity and even sends notifications if potential fraud is detected.

Let's wrap it up.

Aura is a strong player in the digital safety space, for sure. But if you're looking for that extra level of security — debit cards, location sharing, that higher level of fraud protection — Family Shield is the clear winner. We're here to empower you with the tools you need to protect your family, confidently and completely.

Unlock peace of mind. Try Family Shield today.
