Opened a GoHenry account as soon as my eldest son was old enough to. It’s a fantastic little app which he (at 7 years old) can easily understand, access his savings, see where he’s spent money and everything else. It’s really helped him understand finances at such a young age.

I set up 3x ISAs for my sons, however there’s little information regarding the type of ISA you’re setting up. I was very confused when opening and ended up doing a different type of ISA for each child - not realising this would greatly affect their loss and gains in terms of interest. I’ve now closed these accounts be wise of this, one child had 3x the amount in his account compared to the others. I wish there had been more information when I opened the accounts as I would’ve liked to have kept them open. Another issue I ran into was being unable to share details for transfers eg for family members who wished to deposit into the children’s accounts. The only option for deposits with Scottish friendly is direct debit - you can’t make a BACS or even card payment transfer.

I have a club Lloyds account and a regular current account, as well as a savings account with Lloyds. Great service and any issues resolved quickly.

I have two business accounts with Tide and have recommended several friends and family with businesses (and took advantage of the £50 referral bonus!) any issues I’ve had at all with Tide are resolved quickly and effectively with their chat app, they’re also extremely helpful on the phone. My last experience with them was upgrading my account to benefit from the change in fees and cash back, the customer service agent was brilliant and thorough explaining all the options so I was able to make a decision. I’d never hesitate to recommend Tide.
