Third Anniversary

5 February 2022 at 4:11PM in Budgeting & bank accounts

I am looking after my niece, who is 12. I am trying to separate her finance from ours. She has living expense and also tuition fee to pay. Currently has NatWest adapt account which can only receive money, buy things using debit card but can't send money or set up direct debit, which she needs. Any recommendations? Thanks

My kids have Nationwide FlexOne where you can do these things.
