Easy child friendly account

Both my 10 years olds use this facility in my bank. It’s taught them life lessons with money, accounts, cash cards, balances, savings. I couldn’t recommend it enough. We all love it and it’s been easy to set up and use. And no silly charges. Fantastic in every way. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
