Best Childrens bank?

Maybeanotherday

Hi Im wondering if anyone can help?
I currently have a small savings account for my daughter and son with santander, HOWEVER we give them our loose change to save and in the holidays we take it into our local branch, they have a restriction on 5 bags in a day, which is a problem with two children (plus coppers are one bag for a £1)... I've also found that the little red book doesn't really engage them into banking if that makse sense?
What is the most child friendly bank? I have a local natwest and was considering them too?

You don't give your childrens ages but take look at HSBC's 'My Money' account. It consists of a 'current' account with cash or debit card (the type being dependent on age) and a savings account with online access allowing transfers between the two. As he got older my son wasn't interesed in using a 'baby' passbook especially when he saw mum and dad using debit cards. Admitedly there are better interest rates out there but we've found it's been a good way for him to learn.
