Bank account for tweens/teens

I’m looking for a good bank account for my children that they can access and mainly run themselves. It’s mainly for birthday and Christmas money from their grandparents so it’s not a long term savings account. My daughter is also keen that her pocket money/allowance is paid in there, as she wants to manage her own money (which I am keen to encourage). They are tweens/teens.

It would be great to have an account that helps them save too and ideally has a reasonable rate of interest , but ease of use is even more important.

Thanks all! I researched some of the recommendations that you kindly gave and they all looked good! I would have been happy with any of them but went with Revolut in the end as we travel a lot so the currency features are handy. I had to open my own Revolut account too but it was very easy to do. Seems good so far. For overseas family who want to pay in birthday money there’s a payment link. They haven’t used it yet but it looks straightforward.

Great choice as I find the currency stuff so handy. Just grab my Revolut card for all travel expenses now.
