Monzo's under 16 account is a proper boon for parents

he Monzo under 16 account is a proper boon for parents and teens alike. Getting it set up was a doddle through the app, and it's brilliant that it doesn't cost a penny. For young 'uns just starting to get to grips with managing their own money, it's spot on. The separate app for them is really well thought out – it gives them a sense of independence while still letting parents keep an eye on things. Seeing their spending in black and white helps them learn the value of money and make better choices. Plus, the ability for parents to top up their account instantly is super handy for pocket money or little emergencies. The security features are also reassuring. Knowing they can freeze their card instantly if it gets lost gives you peace of mind. And the spending notifications they get help them track what's going in and out. It's a fantastic way to introduce teenagers to the world of digital banking in a safe and controlled environment. It teaches them responsibility without the worry of hefty fees or complicated stuff. Definitely a top-notch way for young people to manage their money. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025

Easy app to use. A bank who is on your side. I got conned and the bank returned my money within days! Replaced 2 lost cards during the time I've banked with Monzo. Reviewed on: 12th April 2025

Best Account for under 16's there is.

Everything is straightforward and Monzo go the extra mile with Customer Services. Always available and courteous. Transactions are in front of you and available immediately. My Grandson is aware exactly what he has spent and where. On top of that it's free and the adult still has full control of the account. Reviewed on: 12th April 2025

A star experience.

A star experience. Here's a brief review for Monzo: "I'm absolutely loving Monzo! The app is so user-friendly, and the features are fantastic. The 'pots' feature has been a game-changer for me, helping me save and organize my finances. And the recent 1p saving challenge was a fun way to build the habit of saving. Well done, Monzo!"
