Freedom to spend like you

Top-ups in a tap
If they run out of money, you can top up their card through your account — wherever they are, in whatever supported currency they need.
How it works
Young Explorer is a beta, which means we’re still working on its features.
Right now, kids get a card managed through your account. They won't have their own account details or see spending in an app.
