New to Monzo and very happy.

I recently changed to Monzo and opened my 3 children accounts and it’s gave them their own independence. I can also keep track of their spending and get notified when the accounts run low. It’s also easy to add money to each account. Reviewed on: 6th March 2026

Learning about money 5*

Their account has been fantastic for my 9 year old son to learn about responsibility with money. He has the App on his phone and can monitor and save his own money, with oversight from myself and my wife. Reviewed on: 6th March 2026

Delighted to use under 16s accounts

5
As a Monzo customer was delighted when they launched the under 16s accounts. Switched my kids from GoHenry to Monzo and best decision ever. They are learning how to save in pots, manage their money and I can send pocket money weekly from one of my pots which is a great way for me to manage this! Reviewed on: 6th March 2026
