Great way to teach children

Fabulous kids account

Fabulous account facilities with a very clear app to show my 11year old his income and expenditure. Excellent for learning money management. A doddle to set up! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

The best!

Such an easy and fun way to start developing good financial habits with your kids. Simple and not a hassle to use. Try it out! You won’t regret it! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Great Banking for Kids - so simple to use

Account links easily to the adult account. Transfers are seamless. Easy to provide a payment link for grandparents or others that want to contribute to the child's account. Small monthly fee. Kids love the simplicity and feeling of independence. Has really encouraged a saving mindset in my boys who enjoy watching their balance rise on their own dedicated app. Great experience all round.
