Easy way to manage kids money

We use the app to keep track on the kids pocket money and reward for chores but also deduct when they want to buy something. It' easy to use and I like that the both parents can access the same account. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Great for educating

This app had been recommended to us by a family member and what a great recommendation it has been. It’s been great for introducing my son (6 years) to the concept of saving and having control of what he wants to spend his money on. The ‘goal saving’ aspect has meant that he has been able to save up for a big toy whilst also understanding that he was spending his money and that once he had spent it he would need to save again.

Great app, easy to use, well priced.

For a sensible price, the Rooster card & app work well, giving control to parents and transparency to children. The chores feature works really well and has encouraged our daughter to tear herself away from her devices through lockdown. Seeing her face feeling so grown up spending money in a shop by card is fantastic! Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Excellent App

The app is great, allowing us to securely pass money to our daughter and to keep an eye on spending. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Rooster teaching money independence

My son has had a Rooster account since he was 8 and I gave him the card for Christmas. Customer service was great - really personal and friendly. For example when we took some time to activate the card (as it was bot opened on Christmas Day) I received a polite, personal email asking if we need help. I replied and explained and got an email back from a human saying what a great idea and if I need any help, just to let them know. It’s a small thing but significant. My son loves using the card and uses his app to keep track of his ready money and his savings. I would like to add the ability for him to directly pay to charity. Other than that we love our Rooster.

Fantastic app for children to learn about finance

I am really pleased we found Rooster as it allows the children to understand the value of money, be more independent with their money and spending and understand the concept of earning your own money. Great link to chores and gives children a sense of achievement when completed. They can also understand the concept of setting a goal and saving their money towards the larger item rather than just spending. Security functions are also very good to limit spending and avoid the financial impact if the card is lost or stolen. Really pleased with the offering by Rooster Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Snazzy Banking for Kids

Brilliant introduction for kids to learn about banking and managing money. Incentivises saving and rewards when they contribute with tasks. Debit card gives them control over how they can spend and helps them learn value of money in their account. Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Brilliant App

This app lets us track pocket money, birthday, Christmas money and what is saved or spent. We would honestly be lost without it. We use it daily!! Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Would recommend and have recommended to friends.

It's the same if not better and easier than others plus no monthly charges. Easy for the kids to understand and to manage without you loosing any parental controls. LOVE It!!!! Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Excellent finance management learning for kids

Rooster was very quick and easy to set up. Love the was you can get savings goals and chores for my daughter to do which has motivated her a lot more to help out and do jobs she wouldn’t have done before. She loves the fact she has her own card and can buy what she wants or can decide to save towards a specific goal. The app is brilliant and has lots of useful feature which enables me to have control of her account. Can’t recommend Rooster highly enough!! Reviewed on: 14th April 2021
