Really easy to use and control. My kids love their cards and that they can have an app on their own phones! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Super Simple Joined Up Banking

A brilliant little service that gives kids loads of independence with their money. Lots of nice features, easy to transfer money in, and to claw back when they owe me money! Lots of transparency for parents to see how kids are managing their money. Would recommend! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
