Great Banking for Kids - so simple to use

5
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.
