Do any children's pocket money a/cs come with a cash card for 8 yr olds?

[eltham]

Natwest and Barclays say you have to be 11 yrs to have one. Any ideas where I can open one for my dd?

ds was just offered one by Nationwide as he turned 11. Why does an 8yr old need access to ready cash ?

Co operative Bank do one but they don't have many branches.

Seems very young to have a cash card.

why do you want an 8 year old to have a cashpoint card?

it's her pocket money and she needs to learn to save and spend wisely.

she has only this week - at 8 - started getting £1 pocket money a week..so we're hardly talking big bucks here

Besides, she'll not without a parent to supervise her withdrawing money.
Given this, I'm not sure what the difference is between her having a cashcard and signing a slip of paper to get money out. In fact, she could paper sign her own money out after aged 7 if she had a NATWESt a/c.

My 10 year old has a nationwide account. It comes with a passbook (he can't get a card until he's 11), but the passbook can be used in their cash machine with a pin number to withdraw cash. I think its better for him than a card because he can always see how much is in there - but he still has the indepenance of using the 'hole in the wall'!

thanks 123...is the passbook a kind of card then (same size)..what would a 11 yr old child's cashcard offer that a passbook doesn't?

royal bank of scotland do
my 8 year old has it you can withdraw up to £10 a week from the cashpoint, anymore and a parent has to come into bank and authourise more.

thanks clueless...so they get a cashcard of some kind with a pin number? Is there a name to the a/c?

yeah card and pin to use in any machiine, i think it is called cashclub

here it is

thanks...but damn, just checked and we haven't an RBS in our town...can the card be used to withdraw money from other bank's hole-in-wall do you know?

yeah any link machine i think
