I don't like Revolut for kids, it's too invasive. It might be suitable for 8-12 year olds but after that it's a bit much and they market it for under 18s.

They have all sorts of stuff like sending you alerts when your child spends something including the time location etc. Some purchases have to be approved by the parent. Setting spending limits on their own money.

I'd say they are better off with a normal current account from a bank. No fees and they can get a debit card if they are 13.
