As a NatWest customer, it's brilliant that I can get a complete discount on the Rooster Card for each of my children. You should not have to pay for an account which allows children to transition from having a savings account to a spending one. In that regard, Rooster is brilliant. They can create their own saving pots, move their money around and feel independent through the debit card. I would highly recommend this to any family. Read more Read less
