Best free Under 16s account with so many features

Recently made an under 16s for our 10 year old and he started using new feathers like pots and smily responses immediately. Aside from nice user friendly features, the ability for him to have his own totally free cureent account is god send. Reviewed on: 21st March 2026

Very easy to use for me and the kids.

5
Very easy to use for me and the kids. They get to manage and be responsible for their money but I can still help and talk to them about financial questions and problems. Great that they have an app they can use directly and their own free debit cards Reviewed on: 21st March 2026

Definitely recommend

I set up these for my two children just to help them learn a little about money saving and looking after there cards. It really was the easiest set up ever. I love that you can link different adult accounts to the under 16s account, transfer money easy for birthdays pocket money ect. I asked my two children what they liked about it the most they said that they could choose their own cards and see exactly how much money they have and where it's come from. The only thing they asked to update. They wished there could be more of a selection of the colour/themes of cards. Purples/rainbows space/gamers Reviewed on: 21st March 2026
