Better than any other child account I could find

Incredibly quick account to set up. The UI is great. Being able to control the where the money can be spent and how much per day can be spent is great for parents who are trying to teach their kids the value of saving and spending wisely. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Love it

The ability to help my daughter gain financial skills and independence is fantastic. Can’t tell you how lovely to get a ping when she uses it. She does not live with me and she is of an age she does not reply to my messages I think …. Aaagh she’s still alive Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
