This was my issue with Kite (it’s particularly tricky when you’re separated).

Hi there!
In this scenario we would take the money from your main Monzo account in the same way as we would today if you personally went on the bus and this happened, so we always suggest you ensure there is a small balance in your main account for these scenarios.
We’ll also notify you right away if this happens so that you can ensure money is added to account. We’d love to hear feedback on how this is working (once the accounts are available), and if there is something else that would improve the experience for you so please do let us know!

Monzo inadvertently creates a new class of criminal - the Child Fraudographer.

Thanks.
May as well stay with Revolut then 
No point in messing my kids around for the sake of it.
I’ve got a kid who is 36 does that rule me out

My daughter is a budget ninja, will salary sort be available for their allowance/pocket money. Although it might be better renamed for the audience

Noooo I want the blue card.
i am a child at heart, can I have the card?

If salary sort works for child accounts, with the same restrictions as adult accounts, then your kids must get a massive allowance.
If I remember correctly, salary sort only works for payments over £100.

Just a thought but would it work for grandchildren as Grandson No1 is 7 next week and he so wants a Blue Monzo card

Given off what we’ve seen so far, the only tie seems to be the Adult Monzo account. But the address may also be a checkpoint…

I’m also hoping the multi card, spending controls and sperate login/app improvements are transferable to business accounts too.

This looks great, my daughter is 12 and she has a Go Henry account.
It works well but feel it’s over priced so a Monzo option is really timely.
12 is too young for apple pay to be available so hopefully by the time she turns 13 that has been enabled.
Now just to wait on the waitlist getting to me!

Really pleasantly surprised that this is completely free! Thought it would be tied to paid plans.
My business brain would be interested to learn more about the angle internally. Was this approved mainly for marketing? Can’t imagine it’s profitable but maybe not super expensive per child. And I guess should get the adult to use Monzo more if it’s well integrated.
Nice job Monzo team.

Can imagine people feel frustrated having to pay for accounts for children to teach them about money etc:

I feel sorry for kids nowadays. Probably wouldn’t be able to get away with spending lunch money every day on the vending machine instead of a healthy meal in the canteen.

Delighted for this. GoHenry is so limited with transactions etc - hoping money can be transferred back into the parents account if required or at least on the roadmap (GoHenry requires you to take it out as cash!).
