Monzo under 16s account was just what I needed for my son. It's helping him be more conscious of his spending and learning to budget and easy for me to supervise Reviewed on: 18th February 2025

A promising start for a new product

It's early days for Monzo's U16s account, and they still have a little way to go yet. It wasn't all plain sailing in getting our children's accounts set up and the names right on their cards, but they're enjoying managing their own accounts, and new features are still being added.

Under 16 account but no good for multiple parents

1
I opened an under 16s account for my two children, all been working fine. Monzo recently invited people to add additional parents / guardians to be able to access the account but they are unable to offer this to her despite her holding a joint Monzo account with me, her own Monzo business account. When raising they were unable to explain their decision. Reviewed on: 15th February 2025
