DD just started year 7 and we are thinking of opening her a bank account (my mum wants to put money in it every month, but probably more as a small savings account than a basic bank account).
It also appears that 'lots' of people in year 7 have bank accounts and debit cards and store cards... Have I been depriving the poor girl until now? Cash seems to have worked very well so far, but I am thinking maybe I need to move on and set up a normal bank account for her and a savings account. Store cards are obviously a big no-no.
Now which banks are good for these children type accounts? And all general advice gratefully received on this topic.
thank you
