Kids monzo on my contactless

Hi, ive recently taken out the kids monzo, is there anyway of adding her contactless catd to my wallet on my samsung? Instead of carrying around her physical card. As so often we are out and she wants to buy something but she doesnt have her card. Shes 8, so doesnt have a mobile phone or anything.

I believe the kids cards can’t be added to digital wallets.

It can if the child is 13 or older.

She’s eight and she doesn’t have a card with her. Perhaps the best solution, as her parent, is to buy it for her.

Might be better off making a “pot” for her in your account and assigning a virtual card to that pot.

The card doesn’t weigh 15kg, just put it in your wallet?

Thats really helpful, but i tend not to carry a wallet with me. Hence the question. Silly me, was hoping for some helpful replies, how silly of me. Im guessing some people just cant help themselves.

It was just a simple question for goodness sake.

The simple questions have the simplest of solutions.

Ok, that’s fine. What is stopping your daughter from carrying the card?

I really feel like this is just such a non-issue, with several solutions suggested by the members of this community that you are simply ignoring. They’re trying to help you, or give you a solution.

If you have a paid Monzo plan you can ditch the kids card altogether and set up a regular pot with a virtual card.

You’ll be able to add the virtual card to your own wallet. Your kid won’t have access to the app but this isn’t an issue as they don’t have a smartphone anyway.

Only flaw in this plan is you may not have a paid plan but that can be remedied with a small monthly fee. On the flip, there’s no way to add the kids card until they turn 13.

at the moment the kids under 16 account cards cannot be added to apple pay/Gpay but they said their looking into doing that at some point, I have a 7yr and a 13 yr old but I have a revolut kids account for them as the cards can be added to apple pay/Gpay so I’m using it for now until monzo adds this option, maybe you should look into that as an alternative for now the first kids account is free

Age is the restriction, not Monzo adding anything.

This child can add their Monzo card to GWallet / Apple Pay.

This child cannot add their Monzo card to GWallet / Apple Pay because of age restrictions and regulations about the whole thing.

Honestly people need to learn to read the bloody T&C’s

you just prove my point right, the link you have is for 13+ monzo kids account is for 16+ which can be added to apple pay/G pay however their under 16 cards cannot be added to apple pay/Gpay, hence why I suggested to use revolut until they add this feature, I do have the monzo under 16 accounts for my kids since August and you cannot add the cards to digital wallet I use my phone to add it and it says the cards are not accepted and I’ve already query this with monzo who confirmed you cannot add the cards to digital wallet for under 16 accounts at the moment. I’m not just saying this out the air. I’ve added a screenshot from just now of my 13yr card and it’s not supported

Yeah, my son has Monzo kids on his Google Pay. The limit here with Monzo is 13.
