Review of the HyperJar, Childrens Account:

View on product page

Best children banking service in my view.

I use Hyper Jar for my boys, it is a very easy service to use, it allows my boys to have some independence over their funds, but yet still under my supervision as I can see where and when they spend their card, which assists in knowing what they are spending their money on. They can also have different jars to budget their money if they so wish, although my boys only have a spending jar and a savings jar, which let's them save part of their money at their own discretion. You can agree with the child whether they want to be given access to remove money from their savings or not. Mine didn't want access, so that they don't dip into the same. My older son has his card linked to his phone, one day when he was robbed of his phone on the way to school, the purchase the thief made using my son's card, was what first alerted me to something being wrong. This was because I got an hyper jar notification of a spending at a place where my son wouldn't usually shop and at a time he wouldn't be using his card. This was good evidence for the police when the thief was caught later that day ( he later pleaded guilty to fraud for using the card and robbery for taking the phone as their was threat of violence at the time of the robbery). In summary I have been using hyper jar for over 3 years now and they are so great, that I have recommended them to friends and family. The best part of all this, is that their service is free to use, no subscription fees. They do understandably charge for replacement cards. When I joined the app the new cards were free at the time, but they are so great that I will happily pay their nominal charge for a replacement card. Reviewed on: 29th March 2024
