Best debit cards for children

We have prepared a list of the most convenient and profitable children's bank cards. For convenience, key information is presented in a table.

T-Bank "Tinkoff Junior"

"Tinkoff Junior" is a convenient debit card for children under 14 years old and their parents. Since the card is linked to an adult's bank account, parents can monitor their child's spending and instantly top up the account balance without commission.

The child themselves can use the card to pay for goods and services and receive cashback on their expenses. Thus, Tinkoff awards up to 1% for standard purchases, up to 2% for online store purchases, and up to 30% for purchases under the bank's special offers. In addition, it pays 3% per annum on the card account balance without a Tinkoff subscription and up to 7% per annum with one.

A nice bonus is the special children's app. With it, the child can receive 24/7 support from bank operators, read useful stories, take tests and improve their financial literacy, and complete simple tasks from parents for a cash reward.

Alfa-Bank "Children's Card"

The free "Children's Card" from Alfa-Bank is a convenient and profitable tool for parents and their children. By paying with this card at stores, children can receive 5% cashback for transactions in the fast food, cafe, and restaurant categories. The "Alfa-Mobile" mobile app allows them to view transaction history, monitor account balance, and use contactless payment.

For parents, the functionality is standard. Through the same mobile app, they can change card accounts, transfer money between other family members, block and unblock cards, and track their child's transaction history.

Initially, the kids' card looks like a blank slate. The child chooses stickers themselves and decorates the card however they like.

Sberbank "Children's SberCard"

The "Children's SberCard" is a plastic card with free issuance and maintenance for children aged 6 to 13. With it, children can pay for purchases in regular stores and online, save money in the SberKids app, watch educational videos and articles about finance, and earn 0.5% cashback on any purchase.

Parents can top up their child's debit card account at any time, as well as monitor their spending: track account balance, view transaction history, and set purchase limits.
