Does anyone know of a bank or building soc. account that will give a 9 year old a card to use for cash machines (or even a debit card!).
I doubt there is one, but i'd like mine to have one.
Call me daft, but teach 'em early is my motto.

Not heard of banks offering debit cards to 9 year olds let alone cash cards
Think 16 is probably the youngest but I could be wrong0 -
NatWest used to offer them at aged 11.Gwlad heb iaith, gwlad heb galon0

barclays will give them a visa electron debit card from 11 but parent has to sign for it to be opened then they can use it in shops if they have the funds..
my brother has had one since he was 11
nationwides cah account also offers a card (only cash card for hole in wall though) but i think that might e 11 too..:beer: :j OFFICIAL DFW NERD NO 159 PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH OUR DEBTS:beer: :j

btw
in case anyone is wondering y does a 11 old need a debit card
my mum wanted him to have an account that she could have his pocket money paid via s/o she was with barclays and thats what they offered..
in my mum and bro experience it is good as his pocket money goes in there and he pays xmas and bday money in there then when they go out shopping for things he uses his money to buy the things he wants his 15 now so usally it goes on trainers ect all the things boys buy..
saying that thoough i dont think my mum lets him keep the card:beer: :j OFFICIAL DFW NERD NO 159 PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH OUR DEBTS:beer: :j

my daughter first got card only for cashpoint withdrawals at 11 from HSBC which will be upgraded to a solo card once she is 13. Don't know any that do at age 90

I found this some time ago for my kids - maybe it will help..
Most people are now familiar with prepaid mobile phones and the way they work - you load up airtime and use it until it runs out. The Splash Plastic card works in exactly the same way. The money you load onto the card is the money you have to shop online, you can top it up in your local high street
