NatWest Rooster Money and Nimbl Review

We’ve pulled together a quick run down of the features in a NatWest Rooster Money Nimbl Review.

NatWest Rooster Money is a pocket money app with the option of a debit card for kids that helps parents teach their children about money in a digital age. Simple, progressive and gameful, Rooster Money brings to life all the sound traditional financial principles we were brought up with (or wish we were!) and makes managing money smart, relevant and fun. We want to make these lessons as accessible as possible so we've made our entry level product FREE and for families who are ready to take the next step we also offer a prepaid debit card for kids at a low monthly cost.

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.
