Meet the next generation: Monzo for Under 16s šŸ§‘ā€šŸ§’

Can’t find a way to generate an under 16 link … I had it before on app which seems to have disappeared.

I’ve just had a look and I can’t see it now either :man_shrugging:

Sorry, I misunderstood. My Neon Ticket has been replaced with the new ā€˜random’ referral option.

FWIW, I have scheduled weekly Pocket Money going into child accounts being paid from a specific pot in my adult current account :white_check_mark:

I set it up from the child account > three dots > ā€˜Set up pocket money’, and then in Scheduled Payments on my account I can specify which pot that scheduled pocket money payment is paid from.

Aha!! That solves it!

I don’t know why the scheduled option isn’t available for pots directly from the ā€œset up paymentā€ page, or the ā€œregular paymentsā€ page but this works, thanks for the workaround :slight_smile:

In case the U16 team are still following this thread:

Not sure if it’s new that Salary Sorter lets you put money into your children’s accounts, but I noticed today that both of mine were represented by the blue card - one of them should be yellow.

A very small detail I know, but Monzo are usually good with the small details!

Damn, I need to check the forums more often! Missed this

Finally! Thanks for option to add a family member! Waited for this! :tada::champagne::ok_hand:

Ah! Can’t believe I missed this. Not sure if you are looking for any additional volunteers to test this out? My wife is complaining that only I can see the kids spending lol and can managed their accounts.

When do you think it might be available as a full release?

not toooo long to wait now :eyes:

I invited my wife, everything is fine… but she is unable to edit/customise kids accounts. Simply no accounts to edit in her app

My daughter has just tried setting a custom app icon - but although it displays several to choose from, pressing them does nothing. This is on an iPad - is anyone able to try this on another device and see if it’s just her or a wider bug?

I’ve lost my golden ticket invitation. Anyone know if there’s a way of getting it back?

I think they’ve all gone - perhaps it means the public launch isn’t far away?

meanwhile, if anyone fancies seeing what some random people in shiny suits think kids might want in bank accounts, this week’s Apprentice may be worth a watch:

close enough!

Hey everyone! :wave: I’m Haz, and I joined Monzo a few weeks ago as a Lead Product Manager. I’ll be taking over from @Sarahm and leading the Under 16s squad - I’m really excited to work on such an important product and help set up the next generation for financial success! Couldn’t wait to jump in and say hey. :wave:

A small update: We’ve taken down the Under 16s waitlist. Now, anyone eligible can sign up straight away. This also means Neon Ticket referrals have now ended. We’re excited to hear what the next wave of parents and guardians think about Monzo for Under 16s—but we still want to hear from you too!

Is the additional parent/guardian function live for all as well?

I have it from the form before but I have been asked by other parents if its out yet for them in the past.

Really appreciate the addition of children’s accounts. We have these setup for our kids and they can view their balances via the app on their tablets.

I hope more can be done to add further interactivity to the accounts. I’d love to see the addition of ā€˜gamification’ to encourage kids to do tasks, or complete chores to unlock portions of their pocket money each week. I’m not sure how this works in other apps (Go Henry for example?) I’m sure others will have experience on the other options out there.

I wonder if this would be fun for kids, and help parents too.

@HazMcQuade you might want to have a look at this idea?
