HyperJar Childrens Account reviews (2698)

Review of the HyperJar, Childrens Account:

Best children banking service in my view.

I use Hyper Jar for my boys, it is a very easy service to use, it allows my boys to have some independence over their funds, but yet still under my supervision as I can see where and when they spend their card, which assists in knowing what they are spending their money on. They can also have different jars to budget their money if they so wish, although my boys only have a spending jar and a savings jar, which let's them save part of their money at their own discretion. You can agree with the child whether they want to be given access to remove money from their savings or not. Mine didn't want access, so that they don't dip into the same. My older son has his card linked to his phone, one day when he was robbed of his phone on the way to school, the purchase the thief made using my son's card, was what first alerted me to something being wrong. This was because I got an hyper jar notification of a spending at a place where my son wouldn't usually shop and at a time he wouldn't be using his card. This was good evidence for the police when the thief was caught later that day ( he later pleaded guilty to fraud for using the card and robbery for taking the phone as their was threat of violence at the time of the robbery). In summary I have been using hyper jar for over 3 years now and they are so great, that I have recommended them to friends and family. The best part of all this, is that their service is free to use, no subscription fees. They do understandably charge for replacement cards. When I joined the app the new cards were free at the time, but they are so great that I will happily pay their nominal charge for a replacement card. Reviewed on: 29th March 2024

Easy (and free!) child's card

HyperJar makes managing my son's account really easy. I love being able to top up his card when needed during school trips and he's out and about with friends. If the card gets blocked (for example, after an incorrect password is entered a few times), it's only a soft block, and the payments will still go through (with a signature!), which is a nice reassurance for me. Ordering a replacement card and talking to the customer service online is fairly easy. We love the new shiny design of the cards as well! Reviewed on: 31st March 2025

HyperJar is an excellent choice for parents

HyperJar is very easy to use and an excellent way to enable my two children to have greater independence, without financial risk. It is helpful to have live alerts of any spending. Reviewed on: 30th March 2025

I got the accounts for my grandkids.

I got the accounts for my grandkids and they love the fact they have their own cards Reviewed on: 30th March 2025

Love the no fees

My son loves his hyper jar card it has given him more freedom as an adhd/autism child he doesn't always understand how much cash he needs to buy something. With hyper jar he is more confident using his card then we talk about how much he has left he is less likely to lose his card as he would cash, it's great to be able to give him this confidence and not be charged fees to do so like most other cards Reviewed on: 30th March 2025
