Hi,
This morning I signed up for a go Henry card for my son he is nearly 15. He had been asking for a bank card for some time. But because I need to do his passport and his birth certificate not with me want something easy. I thought it be great as his birthday coming up.
I have now seen so much bad reviews on this and want to cancel it. What should I do?
It says 30days you can cancel..I really don't want to give him and then take it away.
He will be upset.
Advice please.

I have a HyperJar account for my 7 year and he loves it and usually uses it to spend his pocket money on Vbucks. That's totally free but at 15 I would just sign up for a child bank account. My 12 year old has a nationwide kids account.

If theres absolutely no way you can get him a bank account then its fine for the short term. DS has had his since he was around 9 or 10 i think so its probably coming to the end of its life with him, but if we were starting from scratch now I would get a proper bank account.

Why do you not have his documents? That's a big issue. I don't understand why you don't just go to the bank and get your DS a debit card, why pay for something you can get free.

I have cancelled the account now.

I will just have to wait until later on.
