Great basic account for children. However it lacks one thing, the ability to create a saving space. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Excellent account for kids

Kids were very happy to have their own debit cards and it's free too. The only kids bank account that is free and issues debit cards to 6 year olds too. Most others only issue cards from 11 years, or charge you. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
