My kids have cashapp.
When my son gets old enough we are gonna do cashapp. My whole family uses it and itās just easy to pay people or to send a quick buck while someone is on their way and can pick something up.
I use green light for my 5 kids.

Cash App no monthly fees
Just get her a cashapp. Thatās what we did with our teen . We just set it up and can add from ours or load cash at certain locations.
Extra is a debit card that you connect to your normal bank account, itās only debit but it actually builds credit too.

I heard good things about the greenlight app.
My kids are waiting on their cash app cards as we speak
Step card is a good one. You can set up an allowance or you can just send her money straight from your acct.

Check out greenlight. You can add chores on there weekly or one time that you check off when completed and set a weekly allowance. They donāt get it unless itās marked as done either. It will notify you when money is spent, allowance deposited, etc. It also has an option for a percentage to go to a savings acct that wonāt allow them to spend out of it and the main acct earns interest too.

I see kids with chime cards all the time
We use step and really like it. It builds credit too but acts like a debit card. I have a 9 year old and 17 year old. Works well for both
Bluebird by amex. Its through walmart. Zero fees ever. You get a free parent account, then you sign up for a childs acct. She gets a card with her name on it. You control how much goes on (or comes off) her card.
The only pitfall is its only accepted at places that take american express

We got my step kids reloadable gift cards from our credit union. They have an app where we can send them money and they can watch their transactions. And their names were put on the card. It was a $5 fee per card and no monthly charge.
My kids to the step cads and we love it
I use step for my 11 year old
Just go to a bank open a saving account then she gets a debit card you just need to sign for her also no cost besides OCCU holds on to $25.00

Get her added on to your credit cardā¦ Tell her that the only money on there is the money she earned for allowance. Then use the money she would have made on allowance to pay down what she spent on the card.
Debit cards are trash and keep you in a revolving door of living paycheck to paycheck. Teach her about credit and using other peopleās money.
Do cash app just put her as if she was 13 thatās when you can get it my daughter has one
My mom got my step dad a cashapp card because they both just used her bank account but he needed a separate card so she just sends him some money and he accepts it and it loads into his card. Super easy if someone canāt have or doesnāt need a bank account right now.
CashApp now does Cash For Teens by the way! Itās available to kids 13-18. They just need a parent or guardian to sponsor the account.
Check your local credit Union and just get her own account up and rolling. Both my kids 4 & 11 have their own money market accounts that have a debit and savings account. We have the apps on our phones so we can help teach them about saving and stuff and most credit unions donāt charge fees.

Get a kids bank account.
Chase has a kids debit card thing. If you have an account with them they link the kids one to your account so you shouldnāt have to pay extra fees.

We have a debit card for our 14 y.o. It is our account with her name under the description itās a
checking one because our bank doesnāt give debit cards for a savings account. We monitor it and can add funds as needed, I do paperless statements so no monthly fee, it works for us.

We have the bluebird card from walmart it cost 5$ to set it up then no feeās after that not to no more load fees and no monthly fees and I can transfer money from main card to their card
I think you can go to any bank and open an account
My bank actually is a credit union and offers a lot of cool stuff for kids , they can get a debit card and the have a machine there that kids can put their cash and coins in and it puts that money on their debit card . They also give the kids all kinds of prizes and stuff itās really cool. But yeah I would just open her an actual checking /savings account

Iād recommend cashapp. I was using ācurrentā for a while but itās way too many unnecessary controls / fees
I have a venmo card. Free easy and nothing extra to use. You have full access to whatās on her card and can monitor 100% whatās spent. Maybe set up the venmo acct in her name so when sheās old enough she can just have the accountā¦

Some banks have accounts for kids too. The way our bank set it up they linked the account to ours. They get their own debit card no over drafts. If my daughter wanted a pair of $40 shoes and she donāt have $40 in her account it it doesnāt go through. Itās nice bc all I have to do is just transfer money over when needed.

Chase Bank (in the USA) has a debit card designed for kids that the parent monitors through an app on their phone (assuming the parent has an account with Chase bank). Iāve considered getting a card for my daughter who is 13, since thereās no fees associated with the card. Itās definitely worth looking into.

Check with programs banks and credit unions have. There are some specifically for kids and teaching them how to make their money work for them.
I donāt believe it!!
We just got our 12 yr old one through chase, it was free because we have an acct.
Yeah use Venmo or cash app or go bank ā¦ all have cards.
We use Go Henry and love it for our kids. It lets us pay an allowance, add extra if needed, list of chores that get extra pay and a savings option.
Youāre kidding right
