We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you. Most of the data in Finder's comparison tables has the source: Moneyfacts Group PLC. In other cases, Finder has sourced data directly from providers.
Finder Kids’ Cards Customer Satisfaction Awards 2022
Our new customer satisfaction awards show how kids' prepaid card providers have been rated by their customers.
Welcome to the Finder Kids’ Cards Customer Satisfaction Awards 2022
Who better to tell us who should win a customer satisfaction award then customers themselves? We asked the customers of kids’ prepaid card providers to tell us about their experiences, and now we can reveal how they rated the brands in this field.
The winners are based on both overall satisfaction scores (star ratings) and recommendation scores (the percentage of customers who said they’d recommend the brand to a friend). You can read more on our methodology below.

Customer satisfaction ratings methodology
Our independent survey of 526 kids’ card customers was carried out in December 2021. We asked adults who have a prepaid card for their child to rate their satisfaction (on a scale of one to five) with the service they had received from their provider, and also whether they would recommend that provider to a friend.
We crunched the numbers and used these star ratings to decide the winners of our awards (if there was a draw on the star ratings score, we then used the “would recommend” percentage as a tie-breaker).
