Simple, easy and convenient

Easy to set up and manage. Kids love it and gives them the responsibility of financial management at a young age Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Outstanding features

The app is full of amazing features in the palm of your hand such as paying bills directly from a savings space or specifying a particular direct debit to be taken from another one.
