Teach kids to be cash clever at home

Teach your kids to be cash clever at home with the help of our simple GetWise money tip videos. They cover everything from the value of pocket money to the difference between needs and wants.

Let your kids buy online with a Visa Debit card

With a Visa Debit card, your child can use their own money to buy things online or over the phone, anywhere Visa is accepted. It’s a great alternative to a credit card. They simply need to be 13 years old to apply, and if they are under 16, they’ll need your approval.
