For parents, having the ability to constantly monitor their children’s spending habit is probably the best thing about giving their kids a prepaid debit card. Although easy transfers and approvals might be the motivation for choosing a prepaid card as parents, that probably would not seem very exciting for your kids. For kids, prepaid debit cards are the gateway not just to financial independence but freedom in general. Here are five reasons why your kid will love their new SpendSafe prepaid debit card.
Buy anything, anywhere – Unlike cash, prepaid debit cards allow kids to shop on any platform be it ecommerce platforms, app stores and at brick-and-mortar shops. This gives kids the ability to purchase a wide selection of items. While physical shops contain products of limited variety, online platforms open up the potential to conduct product research, compare prices, scan for discounts and only then make a purchase.
Easy to reload – Kids, especially teenagers, hate to ask for money from their parents! And what’s even more awkward than asking parents for money is doing it on a regular basis. Thankfully, prepaid debit cards are not just easy to use they are extremely easy to top-up. As our cards can be controlled through an app, parents can directly transfer money to their kids’ accounts at the touch of a button.
Sense of Independence – More than money, kids love the sense of independence they get when they are free to spend their money whenever and wherever they want. Most kids start learning about the importance of money from an early age. Owning their own debit card is like a stamp of approval from adults. It makes feel them important and grown up. Knowing that parents trust them with money makes kids feel secure and confident.
