Easy and safe accounts for kids

5
It has been super easy to set up, use and manage accounts for my children. I love how flexible it is to add money and toggle on or off spending limits and online purchasing. I can send them lunch money or approve a purchase and adjust as I go. They also love their accounts and the freedom and independence it gives them. As so much is online now it’s a good way to introduce money management in a safe way. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
