Meet the next generation: Monzo for Under 16s 🎉

Can anyone help me with the early access email? Signed up but haven’t received the email

I signed up via the app and have had no emails

God knows then

Sons card has arrived. Very happy chap.

Does the kids account have its own sort code and account number?

I had wanted to provide these to grandma so she can send my daughter spending money when they go on holiday.

Nah, it’s just a pot in your own account.

no it doesn’t. It can only be added to at the moment by the parent account so you would have to receive the money and then add it to the kids account

My daughter has created a couple of pots for her money now. In my version of the app, on the main page, it only shows how much is in her main pot. I’d prefer it show me the total she has because now it looks like she’s spent £20 pounds when I look at my list of accounts when actually she’s just moved it in to a pot.

I know, I really want a pink card for myself now.

A single click and you’ll see her pots.

It works this way for your accounts as well, you see the main balance, not your total. Would be counter-intuitive to have it differently for a kid’s account.

Not really. For savings, it shows me the total for all my savings accounts on the main page. I don’t have to tap on it and then add them all up. Also, I have trends/balance etc to show my total money without having to manually add them all up.

I’m just saying that for me (and I appreciate I may be unique), I’d prefer to see how much money is in each of my children’s accounts without having to go in to each and add up all their pots (of which the number is growing quite quickly at the moment as they play).

How they divide the money up in their account doesn’t concern me, just how much is there.

That’s being awkward. Your personal account card shows only what’s in your personal account, and it’s the same for every other account card including a Kids account.

Savings total is a separate card in a different part of the app.

My biggest issue is I keep thinking someone is stealing from me every time I hear the ‘kerching’ only to find my son’s buying Dr Pepper every time he walks past a Spar.

Not sure if it’s a bug, but scheduled payments set up within the U16 account to a U16 pot show with the parent’s account avatar rather than the U16 account avatar.

I’m struggling to open an account for my kids. I have the email invite and click through to the app, but once I agree terms and conditions it just returns me to the app home screen.

I’m on Android and have uninstalled/reinstalled the app the ensure I’m on the latest version!

Any hints or tips!?

Use “+” button in the top right corner

Are the kids cards likely to get any of the more advanced features of the adult accounts such as budgeting / trends / autosort etc?

Thanks - unfortunately kids accounts aren’t on my list of options when I hit the + button.

@Sarahm - is this something you might be able to help me with!?

No ‘adult’ features. Just the account (card) with a transaction list and the ability to create pots, with the ability move money between them.

The simple ability to have JrW see his own account balance and then choose if to spend or save is :100:

One of the prerequisites in the announcement was

I signed up successfully after getting the email with the link (and after finding that the notification didn’t work exactly as you describe, but that using the ‘+’ flow instead did work) when on version 5.86.1 (:android:) - are you on this or the later 5.87.0 version?
