want a bank account with card for a teenager

[BradSplit]

debit card
pocket money account

do you use one - is it good?

am looking at nationwide one

My 2 teenage DSs have cash card accounts with Nationwide which works ok. They can't go overdrawn.

x post!

can they buy things with teh card - i read some have that capability

dont really want that

nationwide -they get a cash card at 11 years old

i put pocket money in by standing order and so does my dad- its up to dd what she des with it.

DD has one with HSBC - has debit card. She was beside herself when I opened it for her (October).

She now manages her own money, dd £20 per week which is her bus/school dinner money for a week and every month she has £60 allowance which goes in on my pay day. She has to buy all her clothes, cinema, bowling out of that. Think it is working pretty well.

Brad think you can have just a cashpoint card to get money from ATM, you can only have debit card at 13 iirc.

coo goml thats a lot of cash
ds1 (11) is getting £4 a week( does recycling and laundry moving)

Mine just have the cash point card, not the debit card.

Natwest & the Debit card can be used at the Post Office/cash machines too

Debit cards by implication can be used to buy things in shops if they have the money in the account

DD is 12

DD1 got a debit card with Barclays at 13.

thanks a lot everyone
will send ds1 along to get a leaflet tomorrow

Anyone know what the minimum they can get out at the cashpoint is? (ideally would want one that can do £5 as I am mean like Brad and only give dd £5 a week - obv could do £10 every fortnight if necessary)
