However, it does offer 2 types of accounts that can be opened by under 18s:<\/p><ul><li><strong>A cash account.<\/strong> This is the simplified version of a current account. It comes with a debit card that you can use to make payments and withdraw cash in the UK, but not abroad. Overdrafts, as usual with children\u2019s accounts, are not available. Direct debits are also not allowed. This account can be opened for children aged 11 or older.<\/li><li><strong>An easy-access savings account.<\/strong> This is a generic \u201cyoung saver\u201d savings account that can be opened by anyone under 21. The interest rate is not exactly spectacular, but money can be withdrawn any time (you may need to give one day\u2019s notice).<\/li><\/ul><p>Your kid can get both these accounts and enjoy the full \u201cgrown-up\u201d banking experience, learning both how to deal with day-to-day spending and with savings. <\/p><p>The savings account can be held in a parent\u2019s, grandparent\u2019s or guardian\u2019s name on the child\u2019s behalf if they are aged 10 or under. Once the child turns 11, you can put the account in their name.<\/p><h3>How to open a child account with Metro Bank<\/h3><p>Both the savings account and the cash account need to be opened in person by visiting a Metro Bank branch. Metro Bank\u2019s branches used to stay open for up to 12 hours a day and operated on weekends. However, it has since reduced its weekday opening hours to 9.30am to 5pm, while only some branches open on Saturdays and all are now closed on Sundays to reflect the increased use of digital banking by customers.<\/p><p>For the cash account, children aged 15 or below will need a parent or guardian to be present when opening the account. They will need to provide both their own proofs of identity and address as well as the child\u2019s ID.<\/p><p>The savings account can be opened by an adult for a child up to the age of 10. Between 11 and 15, children can hold their own savings account, but they will need a parent or guardian to apply. If you are 16 or older, you can apply for yourself.<\/p><h3>How much does opening a child account with Metro Bank cost?<\/h3><p>Both accounts are completely fee-free. For the cash account, this means no fees for cash withdrawals and card payments either.<\/p><p>Keep in mind that you can\u2019t use the debit card outside the UK and that cash withdrawals are limited to \u00a3300 a day (rising to \u00a31,000 if you\u2019re 16 or over).<\/p><h3>Is opening a child account with Metro Bank safe?<\/h3><p>As Metro Bank is fully licensed and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, deposits are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/banking\/what-is-the-fscs\">protected by the FSCS<\/a>.<\/p><p>As we said, these accounts are not meant only for children, so they offer little in terms of parental control features. If you entrust your kids with the cash account\u2019s debit card, you\u2019ll mostly have to trust them with the money.<\/p><h3>Pros and cons of using Metro Bank for a child account<\/h3><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Fee-free cash account for daily spending that can be opened by a kid as young as 11.<\/li>\n                                    <li>The accounts can be managed online, via app or via telephone.<\/li>\n                                    <li>The savings accounts can be held directly by the child.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Not many accounts available.<\/li>\n                                    <li>The savings account's interest rate isn't super competitive.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>Customer service information for Metro Bank<\/h3><table class=\"i_infobox product_infobox has-margin-bottom\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Email support<\/th>\n<td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\"><svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium luna-icon--error\"><use xlink:href=\"#close\"><\/use><\/svg><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Telephone support<\/th>\n<td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\"><svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--success luna-icon--medium\"><use xlink:href=\"#check\"><\/use><\/svg><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>In-app or live chat<\/th>\n<td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\"><svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium luna-icon--error\"><use xlink:href=\"#close\"><\/use><\/svg><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Contact form<\/th>\n<td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\"><svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--medium luna-icon--error\"><use xlink:href=\"#close\"><\/use><\/svg><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Branch support<\/th>\n<td class=\"i_infobox_data product_infobox_data\"><svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--success luna-icon--medium\"><use xlink:href=\"#check\"><\/use><\/svg><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><h4>Alternatives to children\u2019s bank accounts<\/h4><p>If a child\u2019s bank account does not sound like the right idea, then there are other options available.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Prepaid cards<\/strong><br>As a parent you can purchase a prepaid card for your child.
