Does this exist- prepaid debit card?

I'd like to give DS some money for Christmas to choose some clothes.

Is there any way that I can put it onto a prepaid card that he can use anywhere but that we can cancel if it gets lost?

Yes - moneysavingexpert have a guide on this. There are a few different ones and they also have a section on best cards for teens

Look into Monzo. Would be handy for him to have anyway.

I was going to say Monzo too. It’s really easy to use &, as Sortitout says, will always be handy Smile

Oh - over 16 only?

Monzo or revolut

I believe you can buy a visa giftcard at Tesco, any value upto £500.

You can get a Post Office card. I had one with foreign currency on but I’m sure you could have one with sterling.

I've seen prepaid MasterCard's for sale in Sainsbury's

NatWest do an 11-18 account which comes with a Visa debit card. They can also use Apple Pay 13+ (in case they have a phone)

Gohenry, Nimbl are aimed at children but they have a monthly fee so it's more an ongoing thing.

How old is he?

Massively important as lots of things are for over 16/18

We use Monzo for our son (opened the account in my name as he's only 9) and it's just brilliant.

You can buy them in the supermarket in the gift card section.
