NatWest Rooster card reviews (17655)

Excellent site for the family

I had pocket money as a child called stars and it really motivated me to do work to gain reward. The kids love going in and seeing who has the most and also allocating some to savings. A great concept and easy to use. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Great Comms & User Interface

This is the second app of this type that we have used. Rooster has, by far the simplest user interface. Targets for kids is a great motivational addition to the app. Have already recommended this to other family members - the highest form of recognition. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Child friendly

Great for children to learn about money and the need to earn not just be given. Also helps with their maths!! Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Great Product

So easy to register and use. Gives our children freedom and us the chance to monitor what and where they spend. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Great intro to using money

My daughter has learnt to save, and spend through using the app and the card. It allows us to control and support her learning about earning, saving and spending money. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Easy way to help children learn about finances and the value of money

We joined Rooster last summer 2020, with two children now in secondary school and the world becoming ever more cashless- especially with using the school bus with no mum to nag them to sanitise their hands after handling a cash fare! What I mostly love about Rooster is the three ‘troughs’ their money can sit in, encouraging them to save and give as well as have their spending money. There is a good element of control for me as their parent, I get an alert when they spend, and I can quickly and easily send them a top up through the app whenever they are. I also like that I can look back through all the transactions, especially helpful when they claim I have forgotten to give them their pocket money or bus fare (which I usually have!). Rooster has given my kids the freedom and independence they craved, whilst allowing me to guide them and it gives us flexibility to add or deduct money as needed Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Rooster is a money booster

Excellent system with great information to help boost your knowledge of money and boost those savings. You will love the Rooster money Booster. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Fantastic Business

Great idea- educating parents/children about money. Very easy to use mobile app - My son is 10 and feels very independent with his own contactless debit card. My wife and I are happy that he can't abuse the card. Very good education articles in the Rooster Round-up. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Great intro to financial capability

Rooster is a great way to help young people learn about managing their money. Parents can monitor and advise whilst still allowing young people freedom to spend and save independently. The app is very easy and quick to use and money can be moved around effortlessly. Nice interface too. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Makes life easier and helps them learn

It's much easier to manage pocket, chore and birthday money etc now we're using Rooster, and it helps my son feel more ownership of his money as it feels a bit like having a bank account and he can see transactions and keep track of things more easily. I'm glad we didn't use it until he had a really solid grasp on actual money, but this is the best way of linking between a world of using cash to a world where you store money in accounts and transfer it electronically.
