Debit Cards For Kids

A short run down of pocket money debit cards for kids

If you’re trying to establish what the difference is between NatWest Rooster Money’s Rooster Card and other debit cards for kids then the answer is - lots! The Rooster Money app has a pocket money account that grows with your child as they get older, providing educational support along the way. Rooster Money has a FREE star tracker account from as young as three, and then your child can graduate on to a Rooster Card with real money when your kids are over six years old. 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 kids' debit cards.

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.
