Easy to use and great tech

5
Really easy to use app. My kids love adding chores linked to receiving their pocket money. They are excited by using their own card in shops and it’s as easy as a tap. Really like the safety controls and you can limit how much can be spend on the card. Dynamic CVV is cool too. Means the need to ask me to spend online. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

A great way to teach your kids about managing their money.

Rooster is a great way to help teach your children to manage their money, to save and be responsible. So cost effective and really easy to use. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

Brilliant App.

5
I highly recommend Rooster Money. I have been using it for just over a year to give my daughter pocket money and help her to learn about budgeting and saving. It has worked fantastically well in that respect and has also helped her to have some independence (she is able to save up and buy presents without having to ask for the money.) Rooster Money is a great app and we haven't had an issues with it. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

An excellent product backed up by excellent customer service

5
Rooster Money is a fantastic product. It's easy for children to use, incentivises saving towards different goals and teaches the value of money through using the chores function. It's easy for parents to navigate and great that grandparents are able to have a log in too so they can also set and reward chores. My child loves being able to set his own pictures for his goals, submits photos and little messages to show he's completed his chore to earn money and feels very grown up using his debit card. I love that this is teaching him about the value of money and financial responsibility. There are lots of cool videos too, e.g. to explain compound interest - yes, we can also set our own interest rate on our child's savings! Additionally when we had an issue with a purchase the customer service we received from Rooster was the best I've ever experienced. Thoroughly recommended. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

So easy & safe to use

5
I have these cards for my 2 sons (11 & 13). They love the app & the independence of having their own card for spending their pocket money, but I have the peace of mind of being able to control where they can & can't spend money. I definitely get more help round the house - being paid for doing chores is a real incentive at that age. Would highly recommend for preteens & teens. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

Brilliant Card and App

5
Helps my 8 year old understand the value of money and how to save, give and spend. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

Great tool for everyone

5
We’ve used Rooster to teach our boys about earning pocket money, saving for things they want and managing their chores. It’s been a really useful tool, they love ticking off jobs and seeing their savings grow and they can manage the spend/save pots themselves on their iPads but with full visibility for us via the app. Would highly recommend.

Best bank for children and teens

5
Rooster money is more than a bank. It teaches children the importance of spending and saving which will impact them greatly in later life. Im confident my children will have better spending habits from using rooster as opposed to having a 'normal' high Street bank account Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

Great app and bank

5
Love the app easy to use. Simple to add money and manage account for our kids Reviewed on: 6th February 2021

Great app easy to use

5
The app is great for kids and easy to use. My kids also like that it links into alexa so they can ask what chores and how many points they have. Provides everything we could ever need from a pocket money app. Reviewed on: 6th February 2021
