The offers compared on this page are chosen from a range of products we can track; we don't cover every product on the market...yet. Unless we've indicated otherwise, products are shown in no particular order or ranking. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations), aren't product ratings, although we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it; this is subject to our terms of use. When making a big financial decision, it's wise to consider getting independent financial advice, and always consider your own financial circumstances when comparing products so you get what's right for you. Most of the data in Finder's comparison tables is provided by Defaqto. In other cases, Finder has sourced data directly from providers.

About nimbl
nimbl is a prepaid debit card for kids aged from 6 up, which comes with a pocket money app. It aims to develop kids’ money skills by teaching them how to track, manage and control their earning, spending and saving. It does this through intuitive app features and comes with an annual fee for each card.
You’ll find useful features galore on the nimbl app, including digital pocket money (kids can earn for tasks they complete), instant top-ups (parents can send money whenever it’s needed) and micro-savings (kids automatically save between 5p and £5 every time they spend on their card). The micro-savings feature acts like a round-up, teaching children the value of putting money away for a rainy day.
nimbl comes with 2 accounts – a Parent Account and a Child Account, so parents can keep a keen eye on what their kids are spending (and where) with instant notifications. You can also set up spending controls in the app and you can turn off online payments or cash withdrawals.
Check out the main pros and cons of nimbl below to find out more.
