Have you not tried Greenlight? My 3 kids have had greenlight cards since they were 12. The mobile app UX isn’t great but it checks all the boxes on features.

Few products have made our personal lives so much easier. Not having to ever get/give cash for them is amazing.

Yeah, that was one of the first. But my kids couldn’t send me money, which sucks cus it’s my CC in Steam/Nintendo/etc, and I don’t want to have to add 2 more everywhere.

We have our children pay us using a card payment terminal. Ours is from SumUp, I know plenty of other brands do them too. I'm happy to eat the transaction costs for the ease of use.

A terminal should work with any product that functions as a debit card, pre-pay or not. As it happens, my children do have actual current accounts behind the cards they use. But it seems like UK banking is becoming less willing to issue full-spec debit cards to younger teens :(.
