Debit Cards For 12 Year Old

[fruitsalad]

Has anyone had experience with any of these cards

[bednobs]

my daughter has one with her bank account (lloyds).  She is 11

It's free, so for me better than go henry etc

her pocket money goes into that account so she can save up or spend.

it can be used at shops or online

[bednobs]

there is less control for me than go henry et al, but c'est la vie

Yes, my kids had them. It's better than them going to cashpoint and draming money out where they can be robbed.

As Bednobs said. It's free. It's also likely that this will be the only way to shop in a few years time. Cash will be a thing of the past, unfortunately.

I trust these things don't allow you to go into the red.

 

See, can't beat the traditional cash pocket money system.

 

So, does the tooth fairy simply pay into the account these days ?

[bednobs]

we ar e beyond the tooth fairy here at 11

yes, you cant have any sort of ccredit or overdraft.

the traditional cash pocket money system is a pain in the bum
