The excitement that comes from unwrapping presents at Christmas is well known in households across the U.K., but picking the perfect gift is never easy. The Rooster Card is often chosen by parents as a Christmas gift and could be the answer for you too, here’s why:
Card for ages 6-17. £1.99/mo or £19.99/yr. Criteria and T&Cs apply. Other fees may apply.
1) Provides kids with money skills for life
Not only could the Rooster Card be a practical gift for children, packed with features to help them manage their pocket money, it’s also used by parents to teach their kids good money habits they’ll continue to benefit from in later life. Whether it’s learning the importance of earning with our Chores feature, or our introductory concepts of Interest and Statements, your children will start to learn the basics of money matters in a safe environment with parental controls. They will also get their own log-in so they can make the experience theirs.
Chores is included with the Rooster Card subscription.
2) Gets kids ready for our cashless world
Whether it’s buying magazines at the local shop, travelling on the bus to school, or topping up your Robux on Roblox – the contactless Rooster Card could suit their needs. Of course, this could be even handier if you’ve bought an Xbox or PS5 this Christmas as you’ll be able to add the Rooster Card to the payment methods to make purchases.
3) Perfect for receiving cash gifts digitally (and saving them)
The Rooster Card comes with its own account number and sort code so grandparents can easily pay in gifts directly for birthdays or Christmas. You can find these details in the app by clicking the big + on the home screen, tapping on ‘Bank Transfer’, and clicking on ‘Share account details.’
This could be really useful in the build-up to Christmas if friends and family are asking how to give them money. What better way to receive your very own prepaid debit card than to receive one that’s already topped up with all your Christmas money? And once it’s in there, you can talk to them about managing it wisely (see point 1 above). 
4) Works with other devices around the house (or ones you might be getting this Christmas)
If you are buying an Amazon Echo, Facebook Portal, or a Sonos One this Christmas you can now use Rooster Money with them as part of our Alexa Skill Integration so your child can ask Alexa “How much pocket money do I have?” or “What chores do I have left today?” So there’s no excuse not to talk about money, or get the chores done.
