Great first bank account for teenagers

5
My daughter has the Monzo Under 16s account and we’ve had a really positive experience with it. It was very easy to set up and the app is simple for her to use. She especially loves the pots feature, which is a great way to introduce saving habits and help her manage her money. Overall, it’s a great first bank account for teenagers.

Great but frustrating restrictions

4
Great account but my 15yr old cant use it anywhere that has an alcohol licence. He plays darts but cant use it to buy food or drink at the darts club or pay entrance to a 5 a side pitch to play football as it also has a licence. Other than that its great but that does cause issues. Good to have the pots available for savings. Reviewed on: 6th March 2026
