It can be hard to understand the differences between NatWest Rooster Money’s cash card, and the other cash cards for kids currently on the market. Rooster Money offers a pocket money account that grows with your son or daughter and we also provide educational support along the way. Rooster Money also has a completely FREE star tracker account from as young as three. After that point, your child can get a Rooster Card with real money on it. That’s for kids over six years old. Perhaps you can tell: we're on a mission to transform the way the world talks about money with their children.
Check out how our card compares to other cash cards for kids.
Key features of the Rooster Money app include:
📲 Free virtual pocket money tracker and star chart so families can start to help kids get to grips with money at any early age.
💳 Contactless pre-paid debit card for kids. For when they’re ready to move on to real money and have some freedom in the real world - with spending notifications and controls for parents.
